I was so wrong. He got addicted to heroin, schizoposts on Twitter, and probably can't draw because he sold away his big Wacom tablet for meth. That's the reason he's so aloof. He's fucking strung out. He never truly became mainstream, Belle did. And he's not belle. All the other degen artists are still better than him (cyancap did a Collab with bad dragon to make a Fleshlight of his pig character), but it seems that he's poison in projects because he never works on any new ones. Even if he did draw something new, it would still just be his run of the mill shit. The same overblown and predictable drawings as always.
I'm glad to see shad deteriorate. His art led me down a dark path which comes to haunt and torment me more often than I'd like to admit. If I could go back and undo finding his drawings of Helen from Incredibles, I would do so in a heartbeat.
DIE, SHAD, DIE
