I was on a road trip to Indiana to attend my father’s funeral when I learned that Jason Pearson had died<\/a>.\u00a0 Although he passed on December 19, 2022, his death wasn’t announced until January 16, 2023.\u00a0 Jason was 52 years old.<\/p>\n

Jason Pearson was best known for Body Bags<\/em>, a comic he created, wrote and drew.\u00a0 But anything that Jason Pearson drew was worth adding to your collection.\u00a0 He had a style that was instantly recognizable.\u00a0 It was dynamic, energetic and brought new life to any character.<\/p>\n

I met Jason at Heroescon in 2004.\u00a0 I was able to get on Jason’s sketch list and asked for his take on Rocky Balboa. Jason was hesitant saying, “I don’t do good likenesses.”\u00a0 I told him I wasn’t looking for a photo, just his take on the character.\u00a0 Jason said he’d give it a go.\u00a0 The result is above with my picture of Jason holding his art. I’m honored to have a Jason Pearson sketch in my collection.\u00a0 It’s sad that we won’t be getting more Jason Pearson art in the future, but his legacy will live forever.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jason Pearson’s family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
