Ryan Larkin dies at age 63

Ryan Larkin, renowned animator and recent subject of the Oscar-winning short, Ryan, has died at at the age of 63. This makes me so sad. He was recently working on a new film about his experiences on the streets of Montreal and was starting to get himself together.

Read his obituaries from The Montreal Gazette and from the CBC.

After seeing the film, I saw him sitting on a stoop on St. Laurent, outside of a poetry reading.

He was wearing dark glasses and smoking a cigarette. I've never been more star struck.
