Fred vient d’ouvrir un sujet qui risque de nous foutre le bourdon régulièrement…

Len Kaminsky a eu un accident l’annee derniere qui l a laissé dans un fauteuil roulant.
Le paiement de l institution lui a couté ses economies et sa maison. Il ne peut plus en partir…
Citation
Len Kaminski, writer for several major comics publishers, is in dire need of your help. In his words:
“I was in an accident last year that put me in a wheelchair - and left me trapped in a ‘crooked care’ center.
That was eight months ago. In that time, they’ve used up my insurance coverage, then proceeded to drain my bank account and divert my monthly disability payments into their account.
I lost all my money, my income, my apartment, everything. As a result, they won’t let me leave, as I no longer HAVE a home to go TO, and no resources to FIND one. So, still in the belly of the beast. Still in a wheelchair. Sick to the DEATH of this horrible place.
I turned 60 in here. I desperately do NOT want to DIE here…”
Putain, c’est vraiment terrible…et triste aussi…
Gerry Conway a révélé qu’il a passé l’année écoulée à se battre contre un cancer. Il y a eu des complications, plusieurs hospitalisations et d’après son message, sa santé s’améliore.
« Fingers crossed, I believe I’m well on the road to recovery. I’ve been in a dark place, and I’ve come out. My heart is filled with gratitude. There’s a ways to go still, but the bottom line is I’m back, baby, ready to take names and kick ass. »

Message de la femme de Peter David
Why I have gone silent for a while
Peter is back in the hospital with yet another infection. This one was tricker because it was at his dialysis catheter site and in his blood. There was no infection in or around his heart which was great news.
They pulled the catheter to test it for any additional bacteria.
While in the hospital, he started to have blood pressure problems. He stabilized and they inserted a new catheter.
On Friday he was scheduled for a medical procedure to create a fistula in his right arm so they could remove the cardiac catheter to lessen the chance of infection.
During the procedure to put him under, his blood pressure dropped like a rock. At no point was he without a pulse or blood pressure but they were in the basement.
He is in ICU right now. They have him on a drug to increase his BP that can only be given there.
There are continuing concerns about his white cell count creeping up and red cell down.
I am expecting him to surprise us all because he has for over a year now.
Yes, we can use thoughts and prayers and gratefully accept them. Right now, we really appreciate them.
Je croise les doigts. Mais ça a l’air chaud, une fois de plus.
Good news everyone. He is leaving the ICU for a cardiac care bed. This makes me happy

Un peu HS
Good morning all. I’m Drew’s wife, Dylan Struzan. I come to you with a heavy heart. Several years ago, Drew was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. As you may know, the early stages are a slow progression of forgetfulness. This happens in the brain when the proteins in the neurons begin to fold improperly. They are called tau tangles. Neurotransmitters can no longer transmit a thought. Think of it as a log jam. Forgetfulness is often what we think of when this disease is mentioned, the brain malfunctioning. As the disease progresses, the hippocampus (seat of memory) begins to fail. Think of all the things you learned throughout life, simple things like how to stand (balance), how to walk, how to talk, how to control your bodily functions, how to make decisions, how to do most everything we do. The hippocampus forgets. It has been said this is the most vulnerable organ in the body. I can believe it.
Some doctors believe this disease is reversible. For years, Drew and I have used the protocols that are supposed to, at the very least, arrest the forward momentum of the disease to no avail. His body has continued to decline. He is “still in there” as they say. It seems that specialized brains have an advantage as their knowledge is part of the structure of the brain, not just an add-on stored in the brain. Nevertheless, the loss of coordination of moving the information from the brain to a functional expression short-changes abilities. Drew can no longer paint or sign things for you. He is not enjoying a well-deserved retirement but rather fighting for his life.
He hears all the comments you have left here on these pages. It encourages him. At first he was able to express his thoughts but as time progressed it became infinitely more difficult. I rely on our 60 years of marriage working as a team to remember for him. Jon, who posts many things here, relies on research in the many hours of interviews both written and filmed to fill in Drew’s thoughts. Drew has left a strong legacy of love and joy in the form of his work. It has always been a love letter of sorts. His aim was to make the earth a better place in which to live by creating something beautiful. But like a flower, his season is ending.
I and Jon will continue to curate Drew’s legacy. My vision here is to bring the creative community to the fore. That’s what our live streaming and videos are about. Many creatives sharing their craft with an insider vision of the job Drew was a master at juggling. I hope you spread the word that will help others enjoy true creativity. They call this the humanities because it is something unique to our species. Art is meant to be enjoyed. Drew always wanted his work to be uplifting. From your comments, I believe he has succeeded. It was always his mission to move art forward being deeply influenced by the great artist and his professor at Art Center, Lorser Feitelson who introduced him to Modernism, a period of artistic and literary experimentation that began in the 19th century. It sought to create new ways of expressing ideas. Drew was also influenced by the Impressionists, as you most likely see above all in his art, the vibrance of color. His drawing skills were informed by the likes of Michelangelo and Pontormo and those in the Italian Renaissance, Composition will always be foundational from Cézanne.
The love you send is received with appreciation and often tears of joy. Those of you who have been touched by his work are his legacy. Please keep sharing your thoughts and experiences. It keeps him smiling through these difficult days. Keep remembering for him. ~dylan
Pour ceux qui ne savent pas, Drew Struzan est un artiste mondialement connu pour ses affiches de films :
Triste, tout ça…
Il y en a, ici, qui l’ignorent ?
Impossible, en tout cas de ne pas connaître au moins une partie de ses affiches mythiques (de films tout aussi mythiques, mais aussi de films moins connus).
Un affichiste de génie.
C’est bien triste.
Tori.
