David Trampier

Your images helped shape me into the adult I became.

David, your legacy of art inspires me. To leave a body of work that will be loved forever is something I aspire to. You changed my world. Rest easy.

Your artwork will be forever linked to my my best and most favorite memories. Be at peace.

I carry around your Salamander art on my arm, a permanent tribute to an artist who's work inspired my youthful fantasies. I hope that somehow you know how much you meant to so many, and that your work lives on in fan groups and discussions and always will!

It's Tramp Time -- One more cycle has passed. During the hours of this day, we can consider the ways your art and imagination influenced and entertained two or three generations ...maybe four if you include that of our parents. I hope, wherever you are, that you're able to learn and create. Having those capabilities would make you happy! How many more Wormy adventures you could hatch...and we all would love to read them...along with everywhere else your ingenuity and originality will have...

At least once a year I post some of David's work on various social networks to do my part and put him in people's brains. To remind those of us who remember his art, and introduce those who haven't seen it yet.

Here's Tramp Day once again. We'll always remember you & the fabulous work you shared with the world. Thank you, from a friend you haven't met.
