Not sure what to say?

I "met" Malcolm on Facebook. He seemed a gentle soul as well as a passionate one. We shared interests in Classic Monster movies, Sci Fi, and art. He inspired me to push further in my own art. I hoped, someday, to do as well as he did.

I loved his bold style it captured so well the feeling and look of the fantasy genre's of our mutual era.

We exchanged messages sometimes, supported each other, and I thought of him as a friend.

Malcom will be missed but not...
