Folks Of Interest Dave Bell

As a dabbler, I've never attempted to imitate his style ( as far as I remember). But I enjoyed growing up with Henry Hi- rise. And I've ripped these pages too..

 

For all you Bell fans out there. Dave is not doing well at all. He is in Hospice at the Pillars in Oakdale. Dave has brain cancer and from the looks of things he is not long for this place. His wife came yesterday when I was there. Dave cannot speak, or barely speak. Prayers and good wishes for Dave and Lynn.

 

Sorry to hear that...........My prayers are with him and his family.

 

Very sad news ... my thoughts & prayers are with Dave, his friends, & family.


Folks should also checkout the Dave Bell Art thread.

 

Prayers sent for Dave and his family .

 

Prayers again from Pasadena TX. Bon Voyage and Godspeed, Dave!

sad news. i used to try and draw his art when i was a kid, love his art.

 

A superb example of a truly inspiring, creative individual! I think we all share a common respect and admiration for the way he has done things. I just gotta believe he inspired a huge amount of people with his actions and art..God bless

 

A unique talent and wonderful human being.
Yes, certainly a huge inspiration to all CAR-toonists.
May God bless and keep you.

 

It is with great sadness that I share that our friend Dave passed away last night at 11:30. His funeral will be some day this week at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Roseville, MN. If you are a local friend of Dave's, drive your bike , street rod or custom to both the memorial and the funeral to give Dave his last personal car show. More info later.

Respectfully

This is sad news indeed. Dave once did a cartoon in Truckin Magazine that had my friend Steve Johnson (Steve's Paintin' Place) and Steve's dog,Freddy in it that was waay cool! Godspeed Dave,you left us much too soon.
