I just found out through someone on DA that Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series passed away. This came as a great shock. I've been a huge fan of the Redwall series and have read it since I was a teenager.I also drew a lot of Redwall fan art and the Redwall site's links list is how I found out that online art let alone furry art even existed. Going to feel very bittersweet when I'm finally able to catch up on the last couple or few books I haven't gotten to read yet. There was no chance I was ever going to get to meet the guy, but this still shocks and saddens me greatly since I loved his work so much. redwall.org gave the news of his passing which apparently was two days ago. It doesn't say why he died, just that he did.

Rest in peace Brian Jacques. Thank you for introducing us to valiant mouse warriors, perilous hares who could outeat anybody and badgers you didn't dare cross.
