R.I.P my friend

RIP man... you made some really good dioramas!

I had no plans to add a comment in this thread, for while I was sad at the news, Craig and I seldom spoke aside from perhaps commenting on one another's photos; I just didn't feel that it was my place to to be presumptuous enough to say anything.

But I suddenly have a small tribute that's more cool and funny and coincidental than sentimental, and I think he'd have gotten a kick out of it.

I maintained a toy blog for a year or two (I'm not posting a link, because this isn't about self-promotion, and I abandoned that blog quite some time ago anyway). One two separate occasions, I posted on that blog a couple-few photos from JoeDios that had impressed me.

I recently revisited my old blog for the first time in a year or so, and I checked out one of those two look-at-these-cool-photos-from-JoeDios posts, and wouldn't ya know it, it featured two photos from good ol' Outrider.

I'd had no memory of it being his photos I'd chosen. It made for a cool, strangely poignant discovery.

Rest in Peace, Craig.
