Bell... again....

Thanks to Gordon H who passed this news onto me, the artist who originally ... uhmm... "artified" the bell on the concrete slab took his own life a few days ago. Horrible.

Here's the news as it appeared in Imprint:

On August 15, 2009, Mark Edward Green was the artist responsible for the chalk drawings on the Waterloo Bell in the new public square that caused so much controversy. Was his chalking art or vandalism? On November 30, 2009, Green took his own life. Members of this community have transformed the bell into a chalkboard once again to honour his memory. Green was a local poet and a longtime programmer for UW’s CKMS radio station. A celebration of his life is being held today (December 4) at 1:00 p.m. at the Henry Walker Funeral Home, Kitchener.

Very tragic.
