My Dad β¦.. ππ
John Blanche the legend of Games Workshop fantasy art who inspired so many with his talent, unique magic & endless imagination!
You inspired me personally in so many ways but not just with your artistic talent. You inspired me with your kind, gentle, generous nature, your love & care for animals especially cats, your passion for electronic music & the Detroit techno tracks you listened to that seemed to span for hours whilst you were lost in your painting, the silly faces & voices you would put on to make me laugh & my sons too after that, you read to me, drew with me & made upside down sofa dens for me, you came to my first flat when I moved in & taught me how to cook spaghetti bolognese, you had an amazing eye for fashion & spent hours shopping for clothes with me when I was a teenager, you taught me so much about life, but most of all you taught me to believe in myself, you told me I could be anything I wanted to be & I believed you!!!
You were THE BEST DAD EVER!!! It is a such a huge loss & you will be so missed by so many!
I take great comfort from reading all the wonderful posts & comments about you posted online today, you touched so many peoples lives in so many ways!
βThrough his art, the grim became beautiful, the dystopian became unforgettable, and entire worlds came alive in our hearts and minds.β Quoted from thearmypainter.
You will live on forever through the legacy of your artwork, but most of all in all of our hearts!! β€οΈ
Daddyβs girl forever, love your lickle Lesty poo. ππ’ππ’
