the man was a master of his trade, even if you are much aware that he was fairly deprecating about a number of his efforts! But that went with the person that he was, a humble and grounded individual who was a pleasure to talk to and be around. He will be sorely missed. mayhem

it’s been a very sad piece of news for me. i love Bob’s work, his artwork has been the main reason that made me start my Hit squad collection, and his Parallax poster is, and always will be, beside my retro computer corner, so i can look at it while the c64 loads a game or the Amiga does its magic.

Very sad, i have a signed Batman in my son’s room. i bought so many games based on just on his artwork. rocky1980

At a time when computer graphics often couldn’t, Bob’s artwork helped fire our imaginations. His artistry will be a legacy of eighties gaming. paranoid marvin

extraordinary artist, every piece of artwork inspiring, i don’t think the man did a bad cover. ncf1
