He always encourage me in my artistic pursuits. He was the first person
who showed me that art and design could make people feel. He was
the first person that I ever did a caricature for, in some ways ... he
was my first client!!! I never knew uncle Arth very well, but on the times
I did chat to him one-to-one he struck me as a very deep, complex
guy who observed life with a tear in his eye. He seemed to look at
the complexities of life and wonder at them. I remember his stories
being larger than life, and in some ways I think he was a part of life's
magic. Uncle Arth was not about the realities of this world, he was about
the possibilities of it, and I think this way of being is a blessing and a
curse.
The world needs more Uncle Arthur's. He believed in people, he was a
dreamer, a collector, a fighter, an agitator, a sentimental man, with a soft
heart and an eye for detail. Most of all his was a cool uncle, who did his
thing and lived his life. I will miss him.
