Their Love For Peter Steele Is Reflected In the Artwork

As I noted yesterday, this year my family has been given the opportunity to see all the beautiful works of art that fans have made honoring Peter. Every day, we are amazed at the creativity that comes from men and women around the world -- all inspired by a humble person -- Peter.

If you have ever gotten a chance to meet Peter at shows or meet n greets, you'd see that he was honored when someone handed him artwork or music inspired by his own talent. He turned red sometimes. He made jokes. He'd make fun of you or voiced crazy noises . But he always brought his fan's creative talents back home with him, where he shared them with his mother and sisters.  When it came to receiving cds or tapes from up and coming bands, he listened to them. He shared the recordings with us. He brought us to concerts to see bands. He supported and gave back to the music community.  He was ... amazing and kind to everyone.

Today's post is about thanking the fun, colorful and zany people who have friended us through this blog and on our facebook pages. From Karla Collins to Mary Wolfe to Veronica De La Rosa Diaz to Joey James Hernandez to Tabitha Buckmen Bendeich -- to name a few -- have created art and shared it with our Steele Family -- you have brightened our lives with your generosity and dazzling creativity.

Here are a few family favorites ... Enjoy

We Are Blessed

  8. I am always so happy to see the love that we all share for Peter through our paintings, pictures, tattoos, messages and poems. I think there would be enough to have our own art gallery! Peter lives in us all forever. Also a Very Big Thanks to Darcie and Peters family for continuing to show interest in us... it means so much to me. To have a connection with you all and to know you love to see our art and want to hear our stories and comments... has been a blessing.

    Every time I see pictures dedicated to Peter Steele I get a chill. What an honor to see us fans messages and pictures knowing we all feel the same way about this magnificent man. Every one of us knows the music, the man. We all feel it, we all are one. Thanks everyone. Love you all.

  11. I miss his music,yet I find a certain peace in knowing his internal suffering is over.I find comfort everyday in his music,it calms me,uplifts me,inspires me...but I guess that is what TRUE art does doesn't it?
    R.I.P. Peter,you were a true artist among artists.
