Tremendous loss...

Last Saturday morning, my friend Sean McCabe died after a long stuggle with Thyroid cancer. He was far too young for such a fate, and leaves behind his wife Laura, two beautiful daughters, and far too many other impacted lives to count.

For anyone reading this on my children's book blog, you need only know that Sean was a gifted artist and teacher. His persona - his love for color, dedication to work (in both the classroom and the studio,) sense of humor, athleticism, and his incredible generosity towards family, friends, students, and acquaintances - deserves tribute here.

Shed a tear. Paint. Write. Act. Take solace in the dreams that you have, the people in your life, and the time that you are given.

You can enjoy Sean's paintings and purchase his work at Sean McCabe Studio.

Rest in Peace Sean.

With much Love.

Your Pal,

Erik
