I just read on the main forum that Welshy has passed away. Such a sad loss as he was a real PDN genius. He did have his issues towards the end of his time on Fans but I really think his illness played a part. It must have been so hard dealing with it all. Well at least now he can rest in peace. He will be missed by us all. I think all his great tutorials stand as a fitting tribute to his talent.

Sad news indeed. I will remember him for his great talent. He made many fantastic PDN pictures.

That is sad. I have missed him on the forum. Besides his talent, I enjoyed his sense of humour.

I never had a problem with Welsh and I admired his humor and talent immensely. I wish him peace.

Helen sent me an email a while back, and I must say I am sadden to hear the news of his passing.

Me too. At least his tutorials will be a fitting tribute and reminder of his great talent.

This has not been verified as a fact - it was merely referred to by a 'poster' on PDN ((whom we don't know, have never heard of before) and who never said who it was on Deviant Art who said it! I think it's a bit strange and just could be a prank. Let's hope so.
BTW - the main forum seems to have crashed as of this minute!

Well whatever has happened at least his work is still there to admire.

Yes, his demise has not been verified & the poster has not made any further posts since then. His work, talent & assistance to others was always top notch. It saddens me more than I can say.

I thought it was kind of suspicious when the poster didn't say anything more.

Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way. I wonder if the poster just meant the NAME Welshblue was dead. He did change his name here to TheBad1. Just a thought.

Yes, I keep waiting for @welsh to post somewhere the saying by Mark Twain, "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated". If it had been true, surely a family member would have posted on the forum? It seems the logical thing to do. P.S. Goonfella - the poster on the main forum, @gavprince, definitely said, "someone on DA had heard that Welsh had passed away in October". It was very odd that this poster, who'd asked EER for Welshe's DA account a few weeks after @wb was banned, should then suddenly know all this info by merely looking at DA". Very odd indeed.

So, we have a mystery.
He wasn't banned here and he didn't delete his account, so he could post here if he wanted to. And he would be welcome.

It's still driving me crazy that we still can't find out the 'truth.' I wish that I had his daughter's e-mail or something.
