On April 23, the artist of this site Arnaldo “Andy” Robles passed away. We the twins would like to thank all those for the kind words and prayers. It’s really uplifting to see this many people care so much for him. Thank you again. His memorial will be in his home town of Middletown on May the 17.

Many of you didn’t know he was sick because we wanted to keep it private. Only the people closest to him and really knew of his sickness. Even through all the pain he endured he still kept on doing what he knew best, draw. He’d tell you in a minute he wasn’t better than all artists he knew. He just couldn’t do what they did; Computer coloring, posing or comic book paneling nothing. But through everything he still didn’t give up the desire to draw. It’s that desire that pushed my brother and I get his artwork out there to the masses. He never had the great materials others had, he never wasted paper, he never complained about subject matter or anything. He kept anything inside and translated that to great pieces of art. 80% of this gallery is things he knew very little or nothing about. He didn’t care for RPGs and thought KH was too gay but that didn’t stop him from drawing those characters. Why? Because he wanted draw things he never drew before. He wanted to push himself to get better. He rarely turned down art. He was willing to do anything for nothing in return. Even if u paid him he didn’t want the money. He never thought his work was good enough for monetary compensation. Just recently he wanted to get a ZUNE because his iPod broke and they can no longer fix it; we told him why don’t you do commissions. He didn’t want to not because he didn’t have the time or anything. He didn’t want to because he didn’t think his art was worth it.

As for this site my brother and I don’t know what do with it now. We have his last pieces of art namely his entry into the Udon SF tribute book and other works. Most likely we will leave his site dormant after we post the rest of his art which will be on the coming days.

If you want to show your love for him we’ll think some thing for you guys do at a later days but for now just remember him and his artwork.

Thanks and God Bless
