Rest in Peace

It was said that he could do color separations in his head as in paint with the CMYK subcomponent colors in such a way that when combined they resulted in the full color image he desired.

That makes as much sense as anything; his work looked like nobody else's... and a lot of people tried and failed to emulate him.

I haven't seen it mention that Gonzalo Mayo (26 January 1940 - 30 March 2021) passed away.
I own a Steve Ditko art page that he inked.
