Interesting to see he had good taste in creative tools.

I’m pretty sure his last words were, “I’m gonna buy a Sony FX2”.

And if they weren’t, Sony need to put that rumor out there to help boost sales.

The prices that people are bidding on there are absolutely wild.

If I squint a bit, then I can vaguely, almost, kind of see the reason why people pay outlandish premiums for a creative tool that has been owned by a renowned artist in the vague hope that there will be some transference of magical artistic residue to them if they use it.

However, I do question how someone is expecting to up their laundry game in the same manner by paying $500 for his fucking ironing board.

I mean, I’m aware of his artistic output but was he particularly renowned for being crease free too?

Proof right there. That is the new ad for the FX2 with the tagline, “Would have been the camera of choice had David lived a bit longer than he did”.

It will sell 10’s more as a result.

(Buy 2, get a free ironing board)

The ironing board would certainly help when creating a flat profile.

In fact, the actual reason for his death was severe dehydration after an epic self-shitting when he unboxed the FX2 that Sony sent for the camera review YouTube channel he intended to start.

As a counterpoint, if there's any artist absurd enough that someone might buy and build a shrine to their ironing board...

Plus there was this!  

And there's some more near the end of the full episode, starting at 17:00 or so.
