I've been wondering where he is too. Sent him a chat recently but got no response. Was going to post something along the lines of what you've just done; now I don't have to. I hope he's not dead, and I hope he comes back to steemit. He was one of the few people where I read everything they wrote, including the entire comment thread on every post he put out. An incredible combination of writing ability and artistic talent. I understand burnout, so hopefully he's just taking a break as opposed to being dead. I want to buy some of his art to hang in my apartment but I can't do that if he's gone and/or dead.
