We're sorry to learn that noted poster artist Dennis Loren has passed away and send heartfelt condolences to his loved ones.

Arlene Owseichik recalls:

"I am sorry to learn that Dennis Loren has died. He made several Fillmore posters for us. He was always ready to work and was a seasoned professional. From a bio: 'I am proud to say, that I have never missed a printing deadline. Even if I had to stay up 24 hours to make that deadline.'

"That man loved symmetry, which always made me smile.

"R.I.P. dear Dennis, a true poster warrior."

Here's a great bio:
