Papillon Parade Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Not sure how many of you would be familiar with the British artist Reggie Pedro, but sadly, he passed away recently at the young age of 35. "Pedro is best known for his record cover artwork for Mercury award-winning band Gomez between 1998 and 1999, for which he won an award for best illustrator within the music industry in 2000." We have subway size posters of the Gomez covers mentioned above throughout our house. Last year I dealt with Reggie when I bought a few original pieces of his artwork for my boyfriend's birthday. He will be missed by many. TBR&R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Papillon Parade Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yeah, he was a great guy. Everyone I know spoke very highly of him. What makes it even more sad is that he took his own life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
