Staff		Wonderful artwork and a great honor for a friend we have left. We are very sad and have lit a candle at toonpool.com and our thoughts are with Turhan on this silent evening. We moved this portrait into our Draw Me area for portraits of colleagues, friends and family - where Turhan will be among all the other artists. Best wishes by heart, Vanessa Vanessa Oxygen, on March 11, 2010 [report post] [quote] [reply]
