RIP Tim Hildebrandt

I first met Greg and Tim Hildebrandt at an exhibition a bunch of years ago of artwork they had done for a set of Marvel playing cards. One of the pieces was of Random, a character I’d created for X-Factor. I wound up buying the piece. Wasn’t cheap, but how many Hildebrandt originals with characters I’d created was I going to find?

I encountered them again on occasion at various conventions. Always gentlemanly, patient with the fans, and incredibly talented.

Tim passed away at age 67. He will be missed. The artwork hangs on my office wall to this day.
