Here is the link to my Twitter thread discussion about Colin Ward, who passed away in 2018.

The thread gives some background on Colin Ward, who was a well known figure in Denver's DIY art scene. It discusses some of my own personal experiences with him and why I liked him. And it discusses some of my own regrets at not having been able to do more for him.

Ward's death came at a turning point in my own involvement with the Denver art scene. And it solidified for me that I wasn't alone in feeling cast out by the community. Denver has failed a lot of its people.
