Art - Stephen Hawking - RIP :(
Hey Steemers..
Today this incredibly sad news reached me..
At age 76, Stephen Hawking passed away.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43396008
He was of course one of the most famous Physicists around and an inspiration to me like Sagan, Hitchens, Tyson, Dawkins and many more.
I remember watching documentaries about space, suns and black holes.. the event horizon and how that theoretically should all work.
I remember a piece where he talked about going there within his mind.. How he trained himself to visualize the things he thought up, how we now have computer simulations to do the same.. He truly was a superhero with his amazing brains.. Showing how strong a set of brains can be, even without a working body :')
Cheers for you Stephen! You will never be forgotten! <3
Sad day.
Nice interpretation and great artwork.
Thanks @zneeke
Its insane he was expected to live only two years once he was diagnosed, going strong 40 years + insane let alone being one of the biggest additions to the world :(
Today the world has lost a great man, a great physicist. A very nice tribute to Stephen Hawking. May he rest in peace. The portrait is beautiful and fitting.
Thank you so much <3

Thank you owen! He will be missed for sure :(
I feel like this is a portrait he would have appreciated. Props for the quick response also. Truly another great man gone from our species.

:( Amazing art @beekart!
Thanks mate!
It hurts
Great homage to a great person.
Thank you very much :)
I drew a caricature of Carl Sagan which is a person somehow related to Hawking.
Your feedback as a professional illustrator would be most appreciated by me. I used to draw caricatures many years ago for fun. Now I'm a little rusty and am drawing again to publish them in Steemit.
