Dear friends and members in this nice forum. I have got very sad painful news to tell you from SystemX's wife (by PM). It is that our loved friend SisTemX passed away yesterday, 17th February. I am very sorry to have to tell such news to you all, as he was a very talented artist and shared with us all creations, advice, ways to improve new applications etc. I'm sure you will desire to share here your feelings to him with love.
I'm very affected since I got her message today afternoon and I'm sure his wife will have some comfort and relief if she can read how this forum loved him.

Issa

Thank you very much Issabella for sharing this very sad news. I suspected early on that his health was failing but it still comes as a shock.

I agree, he was very talented and unique with his art and will be sadly missed.

Sorry to hear about his passing. SysTemX was a prolific member, even recently and seemed to have a humorous side as well.

a very creative and productive member, always in search of new nice effects, and ready to teach how to get them.
We all miss him.

I hope it gives his family some comfort to know how many people here cherished his online companionship. May his memory be a blessing.

I'm deeply saddened to hear of SysTemX's passing. His inventiveness and creativity were truly inspirational. My thoughts are with his family, in mourning his death and celebrating his life.

Hello everybody,

I have to apologize, firstly I am not computer literate so this may not appear as it should and second, for using this registration (I do not have an email address to register myself and it should be my last usage).

Thank you all for your kind words and offerings.

I have seen many very talented people here while loooking over his shoulder and I truely hope that your talents reap the rewards they deserve.

I have very little artistic talent, but I have been shown a few things over time. One of the lessons I recieved - art should never be obvious, you should encourage the viewer to look deeper and deeper into the image.

I have attempted to emulate this in the hope that you may better understand the somewhat unusual artwork of systemx and some of his philosophies on life. Thier are 22 tiny embedded figurettes. I am sorry for the quality.

Peace and prosperity to all.

Sincerely,
Erykah.
