Ricky Java's retirement...what can I say? He sent me an email about a week before he announced his retirement from public life. He said I deserved to be one of the first to know. We have been friends for years and he would bounce ideas off of me and show me some of his roughs and animation roughs, some of which are fantastic, but I can't reveal those without his permission. Ricky is a perfectionist and would not want anything rough shown to the public.
There is a great opportunity to get all of Ricky's art from his Patreon blog. It will cost you only $3.00 to have access to his whole library! He has graciously posted zip files of all his art for you to download. If you love his art, then now is the time. Here is a link to his Patreon page:
https://www.patreon.com/rickyjava/postsSuch a career! Such an library of beautiful art! Plus, he is a generous, kind and sensitive man with a great sense or humor. He and his wife, Eileen, whom he adores, are now going to enjoy more time together. Will he do any more art? I will let you know if he does. For me, Ricky is one of the best friends I have on the Net. He gave me permission long ago to let me display his art on my DA page. In fact, one of his images is the most viewed image in my gallery. It has been viewed 7,050 times and counting. It is Dannia 14 and here is the link:
