█ I suppose I'll start off with what I know, and honestly it's not much.
JasenTamiia was killed in an accident sometime on New Years Eve. This information was relayed in a shout by one of his friends on his FA page that were picked up by a few people. As the news spread many people understandably hoped that it was a lie and a hoax. The friend later then posted another shout in response/concerns over that it's a hoax that he was contacted directly by his father (this shout I did see). Maybe more details will crop of revealing what happened, or maybe there won't be; though I can certainly understand the need for the information, it's hard to accept what's floating around as true from a single source; but it does seem that the original source is his father.
EDIT: Words from his father here.
I've been trying to process this for half a day, and I don't really know what to say. For these things I'm mostly at a loss. What are words to a life? I didn't really know him, but I do remember chatting with him over an IM a long while back; about what I don't really recall (I even tried to sift through my message history to see if anything was there, but I'm pretty sure whatever the conversation was is long lost). Words, lost in the ether of time. The art he created spoke louder than words, it spoke to many people who in turn also listened; and it can speak just as loud today as it did in the past. There is of course more to an artist than the stuff they create, but that's how they're remembered and how they continue to speak to those who wish to listen well after they've gone.
Even though I didn't really know him, I did on occasion go through his stuff to see what interesting ideas he had put to digital paper; and often they were quite so. I think I took a bit of solace in that he was an artist that had a style that was more on the simple side but effective, it let me be more comfortable with my own art that I feel leans more towards being simple. I suppose there was a bit of envy as well when it came to the ideas he expressed because they tread on grounds which I have difficulty with (It's hard to decouple my brain from logic and continuity). I'm sure people will continue to enjoy his artwork in the future, and enjoy it free from the sadness that surrounds it currently. Perhaps that's the best one can hope for.
I don't really know how to end this particular journal. I've been sitting here for what feels like forever unsure if I should even press the button to post this journal... Though I guess I should, to show that he did have an impact on my life, and that he did have some meaning within it.
I did stumble across a link to his WIP commissions which is at https://trello.com/b/Xy1IqFh6/commissions I suppose in a way... his last words...

He'll be missed. =/
As an aside, you labeled the journal Dec 03 instead of Jan 03.
May he rest in peace
He did several pieces for me.
Rest in peace.
Damn...
I at least have the one commission I got from him to remember him by...
Never knew him but by looking at his art I wish I had.
Condolences to friends and family, rest in peace.
Even though I don't really know him, I have to always say this as a form of respect to the deceased:
My condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.
v_v
I've never had the occasion to know him or to get into a conversation with him but I'll always remember him as the artist that he was.
RIP Jasen. Awesome friend, awesome artist, awesome person.
I haven't been following him long but loved his work. This is heartbreaking.
I hope his family can find peace and support in this tragedy.
Rest in peace Jasen! we all miss you!
