Delight by Mitch-el on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Dedicated to Wayne Robson, April 29, 1946 - April 4, 2011.

Last night, a deviantArt member informed me that the gentleman who provided the voice for this little fellow passed away this week. There I was, drawing happily away, when the life behind the character was dying, namely on the day when I was working on that "Caged In" composition. There's something really sad about that....

This is the second time this has happened: Where the voice behind a cartoon character dies right when I finally start drawing them, only this time it was one of my favorite Disney characters. I never knew Mr. Robson, but he sounded like a nice guy whom I would like to have met. What a shame....

Despite all of this, I wanted to draw something happy and not depressing; henceforth, I did my best to make up a cute pose. At least Mr. Robson left memorable imprints. Here's hoping he went to heaven. :aww:
