Greg Bear was a cartoonist who lived in California. He died of natural causes, (according to the police), sometime last September. So far the police have not been able to find his family.

 schirm is paying for Mr Bear's storage spaces so that his life's work will not go into a landfill somewhere. Schirm isn't rich, he could use some help with this extra expense. Please consider helping this charitable Furry/Fannish artist.

Here is Marc Schirmeister's most recent journal on the subject with further details. -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8629367/

Here is Schirm's previous journal on the subject with even more details. -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8595220/

Any amount will help.
(...but cheques for less than $5 can cost more to cash than they're worth. Sending cash in the mail is illegal; OTOH, cash in envelopes that are lined with aluminium foil usually get through unmolested... just sayin'.)

And remember, if you'd like to help, but can't contribute right now, a signal boost is usually helpful, too. You may copy-pasta this journal, the URL links should still work, but you might need to re-make the personal links.


I watch schirm myself.

PS. I'm talking about Greg Bear the cartoonist, NOT THIS GUY! -- http://www.gregbear.com/ Greg Bear the author is still alive AFAIK. The guy who died is a different Greg Bear.
