Surprisingly few Trump paintings, not especially with pancakes either, but it's mostly Prince lately?

I only started following him on twitter in the last year or so, during which time I've mostly seen paintings of Prince, so I'm not sure if he's done other any Faithmouse stuff lately. But it's nice to see her face again after all these years.

Kind of the Chuck Tingle of Christian webcomics really

Dan lives!
I still have his Chase no Face portrait hanging in my office.

And there it is! Probably cancer and surgery tomorrow, not near my optic nerve, and they have pancakes here pic.twitter.com/SdfKRaEUPY

Dan just posted that he is going into surgery tomorrow for a brain tumor. If anyone wants to send him your love, prayers, well-wishes, etc., I'm sure he could use that right about now.

if you're reading, best of luck dan!

that led to me checking to see how dan was doing and unfortunately it's not very well:

Dan is currently in hospice care after battling glioblastoma brain cancer over the last year. His two brain surgeries have rendered him cognitively and physically impaired, with significant left side neglect.

We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement during this time.

Cards may be sent to P.O. Box 177, Elko New Market, MN 55020.

damn. i'm really sorry to hear that. I hope he can recover.

hospice care suggests no. maybe worth sending a note.

Damn, he had kinda slipped off my radar. Sad to hear that it's taken this turn, but as far as I know, that's the most common outcome with brain cancers.

If you're painting these in a the lobby of a horse track, does that also include the NSFW ones?

Not anything inappropriate, but someone has asked me to paint a old west type Gay 90's showgirl stretched out saucily on a divan while holding a tiny umbrella, so I might do that.

― Dan Lacey, Monday, August 4, 2008 10:25 AM

Yeah, do that.

What a journey. Thanks for gracing us with your presence, Dan.

RIP, Dan.

Marilynn McNair of Atlanta said she met Lacey outside Paisley Park in October 2016. A woman parked her car and asked Lacey what he was doing. He was holding a photo of Prince as a model for his painting. The woman blurted that she'd love to have that wonderful photo.

"It was his study picture, and he just gave it to her," McNair recalled.

"Dan, u don't know how it feels. One day u'll be famous and then u'll understand."

The facets that made up Dan's life had facets.

RIP to an original

i didn't even know about his Prince phase. what an amazing obituary.

RIP

Oh man, the Dan Lacey days were a trip. Have to confess that I read the who never went inside part of that headline as though he had never been inside anywhere, ever. I am very tired. RIPancakes.

RIP Dan. You were a star unlike any other.

I’m not sure if this will ever happen, but I’m willing to take a shot b/c Dan loved theses boards & talked to me constantly about them. He promised me a lot of male nudes & time ran out for us. Dan was my best friend & if anyone is has a male nude he painted that they’d like to sell, please let me know. I’ll always be looking for one.

As for all of his pancakes, I hope they stay beloved by the world. Dan wanted more for his art legacy beyond Prince. I was happy to see you all remembering him. I miss him every day.

I somehow missed the news of his death in February, R.I.P.!

I have two Lacey originals that I still love.
