Karl Kopinski - Health Update

[Joe]

Karl Kopinski has posted an update on his Instagram indicating they are in ill-health (recovering from a severe stroke that occurred a few weeks ago, and currently in remission from cancer) and presently unable to work. He's indicated he'll likely be arranging a GoFundMe and sale of some of his art pieces to help fund treatment / rehabilitation, as well as sharing videos detailing his recovery and return to drawing.

Sad to hear about; certainly he's one of the artists that I consider to have contributed heavily to GW's collection of iconic imagery. So much of my childhood - poring over Codexes - wouldn't have been the same without his works.

I wish him all the best.

He is only 53 and already sadly suffered a lot.

I love his style.

As @LSM said it it ingrained in me his great works for Catachans and Inquisition and so many wonderful artworks.

I love his art. I've been raising money for various charities over the last few years by giving grinds to law students. When the go fund me gets set up I'll try to get donations for it. 

 

PerhPs there is something rhe community can do?

Karl’s work is what got me hooked on Warhammer in all its forms and forms the basis of how I view and think about it to this day. Fingers crossed he has a full recovery.

Oof, that's terrible news.  I hope things get better for him very soon!

Sad to hear, he's an inspiration and easily one of the modern master of illustration so I hope he gets better and overcomes these hard times. My best wishes to him and his family, if I had money I would help.
