Steve Jobs Tribute Art: Artists Pay Homage to the Late Tech Visionary

Mere hours after Apple announced word of his passing, artists, illustrators and animators have already started to express their grief in the way they know best -- through their work instead of their words. Passed along through Twitter, Tumblr and Digg, these images -- often rendered on devices Jobs himself invented -- represent a poignant tribute to the late technology innovator.

Check out the slideshow to see what's appeared already. We'll continue to add more images as we find them.

I'm flattered you chose my sketch to be featured! The character is Liz from my webcomic "Broken Plot Device" who is, like me, a big AppleHead & fan of animation like Pixar, two things that would NOT have existed (or, in the case of Pixar, perhaps not existed as we know it today) without Jobs. I'm honored to have experienced all he had accomplished, but equally sad to see him go.

Hi Liz -- Not sure if the message didn't go through on your portfolio, but I shot you a note to make sure it was OK that your image was featured here. (So glad it is!) Thank you for your lovely sketch and the sentiment -- I loved the former, and share the latter.
