"he committed suicide after receiving a cancer diagnosis"

Wow, he sure came to a sad end to his life after spending so much of it making such whimsical images. I guess the stress of looking after his parents had ground him down a lot over the years.

Nice pictures though.

I mean, he was 73 at the time. Having lived a long life, making a small but noticeable difference in the world, I think he had the full right to say "Ah, screw it, I'm done." after receiving the diagnosis.

Cancer was pretty much a death sentence back then. I would have made the same call.
