wanted to repost this piece I did for sparklefur and their wife just a few summers ago. It was one of my favorite artfight pieces I ever made, and I absolutely adored drawing their sonas together. truly a massive inspiration to me.

I am very sorry to find out that Jazz, AKA sparklefur, has passed away.

They were one of my favorite artists, and I hired them to work on my game, Sparkleheaven. The project was dropped after my developer and I had a falling out, but me and Jazz kept in touch and they were a very sweet and creative individual.

This piece of art has been my banner here maybe since it was first made, it was an art trade with Jazz from 2021 and maybe one of the most thoughtful pieces of art I have ever received from someone.

So much detail and consideration was put into this rendition of a very old design of mine I made in 5th grade, but this level of consideration was present throughout all of the work they did for people.

I know I am not the only one who was affected deeply and inspired by this wonderful person. We hadn't talked in a few years and I never wanted to bother them. I noticed that they were archiving so much of their work, and their website even in the last few weeks.

As devastated as I am about this, I can only imagine how their partner, family, and closer friends in the last few years are feeling. Please extend support to their partner, at toyhou.se/mafreidyne

A shining light in the community, Jazz, thank you for all of the kind words you shared with me, the passion and thoughtful care for archiving and honoring so much of the spirit of the deviantart era.

I will never forget you, and I'm sure many others feel the same way. You touched so many lives with your creations. The words you shared even 6+ years ago now when we were all on deviantart still ring so powerfully.

AHHH MY LOVE <3. <3. <3.
