DoD release statement -
www.defenselink.mil/releases/r…I first met randy many years ago when I was a regular poster on the Megatokyo Art & Drawing forums where most knew him as "Rail". He was a great artist and one of the funnyest people I have known. Its hard to believe that hes gone.
I wish I had gotten in contact with him more while he was on leave recently. I feel bad that I had forgotten to draw him something for his birthday (dec 1st). I didnt even see his comment on my DA till today, not sure what to do with that, weither to put it on hide it or not...
