Some good pics and info on his site:

He was quite an accomplished artist as well (exampples on the site).
Personally I'm amazed that he even survived this long considering the amount
of Acid he took.

On a distant shore, miles from land
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand
The dream in a mist of gray
On a far distant shore
A pebble that stood alone
Driftwood lies half buried
Warm shallow water sweeps shells
So the cockles shine
A bare winding carcass stark
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat
An empty way and dry tears
Im trying to find you
Im living, Im giving
To find you
To find you
Im drowning ......

things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do
