Hey guys. I've been offlne for over a year now, and now that I'm back I've heard an awful rumor that one of my favorite artists, Mike Sherman, had died. Can anyone confirm this or tell me I heard wrong?

From what I understand he started the rumors. But then again all Im saying is another rumor. But they are nice arent they? They give us alot more to be interested in.
The building blocks of the internet...

Oh hell Omega, you're back at last... after all this time, I thought YOU were dead! Welcome back, enjoy your stay. There's beer in the fridge and the private rooms are available if needed. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything else.

Well that's good to know. By exaggerated, do you mean completely false, or something else?

and by the way, >>5 Who is this one, out of curiosity?

He started the rumors himself for some godamn stupid reason. Now everyone has been overexagerating them and making it seem like he realy is dead wich he ISNT.

The reason is probably that he didn't have enough fame to satisfy him. The internets is a common place for a fake suicide.

I'll miss Mike should he actualy be dead and I miss him already for being gone but... I have to admit that deep down.. I'm glad he went quietly and not kicking, screaming, and emoing like alot of artists do.

The truth is that he is preparing to commit suicide this year, and he decided to spread these rumors now so that people won't believe it at first when it's true. He wanted just one more level of really fucking with people's heads. It's a pretty good idea. There's no problem with me relaying this information here anyway, most people won't remember/believe when it really happens.

http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Sherman I was actually wondering the same thing after reading this.. then read this post, I think I need better proof that its fake. Than someone just saying it is.

Considering theres an actual obituary there.

Rest his soul, I loved his art subjects.

Attention whoring through suicide? Sounds pretty fucking petty to me.

Well if he is dead, then someone's been posting 'art' under his name rather  recently - Pretty good trick for a guy in the hospital/dying/dead.  My guess is Micheal Sherman, dearly departed and president of some Cartooning Association, and Mike Sherman the (rather mediocre) furry 'artist' are two different people with similar names and hobbies. 

If that's not the case, then I'll have a hard time deciding which is more sad - that some freak thinks it's cool to post a dead guys crappy art postmortem, or that the guy who drew that crappy art was the president of a cartooning association and was allowed near kids (and anyone who knows the content of the 'art' in question will know why that might be a bad/sad thing).

I should do a bit of digging, see what I can turn up either way.

 *sigh* Please don't start any more drama than already exists. Just because he drew for CC doesn't mean he molests kids irl alright?

We can only assume he does, and unless you have proof of the contrary... don't speak.

A momentary bit of offtopicness.

By the same light, we can only assume you'd really like to screw animals because you browse here... Unless you have proof to the contrary? Not to flame, as he +might+ be a kiddy-diddler in reality, but you're reaching pretty far for that conclusion.

Google up "association fallacy" and its brethren, and keep the phrase, "innocent until proven guilty" in mind when making those sorts of accusations- unless +you+ have proof to the contray, of course?

Please don't get back onto topics that already have threads dedicated to them. Also, it would be best not to accuse people of doing such horrible things. That's treading on dangerous ground.

This thread is about locating an artist and finding out whether or not he's alive, not to badmouth him and start drama.

Obviously your the one who needs to stop speaking. Mike Sherman had a few out there fetishes, but he was moraly above enacting them in real life. If you knew anything of who he realy was, you would know that he would never do such a thing. Thats why he DREW things.

Mike didn't fake his death or commit suicide. I heard of his death from family members of his, and that's his obituary.  He'd struggled with diabetes for decades, and finally died of complications relating to it.  I knew Mike for going on twenty years, and was incredibly saddened to find out of his death.

well, if he's dead... I hope he's having a great time in the next life.

Boy, this thread highlights a great reason not to become known on the Internet.
