Vincent Deporter is known to many for his incredible artwork, including on characters such as Spongebob Squarepants and Scooby Doo, but he will be most remembered for the philosophical depth. It was recently found out that he passed away due to a heart condition.
In addition to working with some of the biggest names in the world of cartoons, Vincent also slummed it as an illustrator for Maggie and Daisy Explore the Farm. In a book, he wrote, he brought life to each character, and to every page of the book! Having him illustrate that book was an honor.
Vincent was even kind enough to sign on to do the art for the sequel, Maggie and Daisy Explore the World. That art was not completed, so we will post another update when we find out what’s happening with that from the publisher.
Vincent dedicated decades to his art, and was able to evolve with the times, too. He inspired us everyday with his motivation and his creativity. He was also not afraid to ask the tough questions in life, nor to hold controversial opinions.
The world will miss Vincent’s contributions. There’s no guarantee there’s a Heaven for Vincent or anyone else, but we are hoping his art will live on for many years.
We ask that at this time, you allow the family to take the appropriate and needed time, to make preparations and grieve as family.
We ask that you call ahead, to the family to respect this time of bereavement instead of just dropping in or passing by the family home. All official arrangements, will follow at a later date.
Friends, colleagues, officials and veterans are sending their condolences and tributes to the family in respect of his death. He will greatly be missed by everyone.
