Dick.
The fact that you find suicide selfish speaks load of your own character. Have you ever had someone close to you commit suicide? If so, I find it hard to believe that your initial response would be to automatically label him a selfish dick. Suicide isn't about anyone else but the person who commits it. Though some might find it selfish, the actual pain or level of emotion that a person has to feel in order to find the will inside themselves to go against human nature is extraordinary. I'm not glorifying suicide, but saying that it is a selfish act is just beyond ignorant.

I didn't know the guy. I'm not a fashion aficionado by any means, my idea of a good outfit is jeans and a t-shirt. I do, however, see the artistic aspect of most of the pictures posted in this thread, and various things on Google after searching his name. In that way, he had talent.
