I don't know the current state/whereabouts of his work, but will try to find out. He rejoined Canyon when I worked there, and I had a few nice and interesting conversations with me, but can't really say I knew him. I like what I've seen of his work, and he definitely broke some major ground as a media artist, for which he will, I imagine, continue to gain recognition.
I'll do some checking about his work and where it resides. If I can do something about it to help, I'll be happy to, and can keep folks posted here if I learn anything.
