...to an artist is to take away his ability to do art and cripple him in a way that makes it almost impossible to start again.  Well, that's what happened to someone I love and respect a lot: `Aegis-Strife

Here is what happened in his own words:

"Hi folks…

Yesterday at night, some guys entered in my house and stole everything from my studio: computer, cameras, lenses, hard drives… they only left one hard drive (which miracoulously is the one in which my PSDs and RAWs are) and the tripod.

The total value is around 5.000 €… everything I ever needed or got…

I've got to buy a computer this afternoon, the cheapest one, with my very last money. Goodbye to everything else…

So yeah… I'm an empty man now… Those bastards stole all the stuff for which I've needed a life to get… great…"

I'm just sickened by this hateful act and if anyone out there can help with donated equipment or money, please do.  

Thanks!
