This isn't really current news, but I just read on Phil Saunders' blog that John Berkey passed away in April. There never was very much info on Berkey on the net to begin with, and his passing seems to be woefully under-reported, even in the art community.

This is sad because he was such a prolific and hugely influential artist, especially in the sci-fi artist community, and he was a gigantic influence on me personally for over 30 years. He had a well established trademark style which I'm sure almost everyone here would instantly recognize. He was a giant from the Golden Age of sci-fi illustrators, and he will be missed.

(I did a search and found no previous posting about this. Delete this if i missed it somehow)
