>From Loucs:

Artist Ron Walotsky, born 1943, died last
night, about midnight, July 29, 2002, in Florida,
of kidney failure. He had been hospitalized since
late June, a week after returning from a trip to
Africa. Walotsky painted hundreds of cover
paintings for books and magazines, and was
especially associated with The Magazine of
Fantasy and Science Fiction, for which he did
over 50 covers from 1967 through 2002 (most
recently in May). Further details will be posted
as they become available, and a complete obituary will appear in a
future issue of Locus Magazine. Biographical information and a wide
range of art samples are available on the artist's official website:
