This was terrible news to see on the weekend. I don't think I ever met him in person but he was a local name around the online fandom for as long as I've been here. I was looking at some of the older AusTrans newsletters yesterday and there's many names I don't recognise or see around the online fandom anymore.

I hadn't really noticed he'd stopped posting here a few years back, people come and go all the time, but I had started following his twitter in the last year or two. That was full of amazing toy concepts and art and demonstration of those obscure facts and knowledge Goktimus mentioned (and other rants and opinions and other usual Twtiter things)

Recommend having a browse through it here while it's still up https://twitter.com/asorohanart
