Neil Braithwaite (randomcasualty) is still alive. He never died from cancer as was reported in this news article. In fact, he never had cancer.
When Neil had reportedly passed away, I can't quite explain how upset I was. I cried real tears, I felt real pain. I left work early that day and went for a walk. To this day my best friends remember me going through that day. And other friends of mine outside of deviantART recall the name Neil as the fellow whose passing caused a whole community great sadness.
As recently as today, and a day ago, and 3 days before that, 20 minutes before that, 1 day before that, etc. ... deviants have commented on the user page of randomcasualty with the following words:
rest in peace Neil.. we'll miss you a lot.. hope you'll be more happy & peaceful there..
rest in peace..im sure youre watching us and seeing all of this.
wish I could have met you 
Rest in Peace. Sorry I could never have met you.
rest in peace neil, i hope you are in a better place now
Until the turning of the heavens, be at peace.
In the past year, over 50,000 deviants have visited his page to pay tribute and to remember him fondly.
But he lied to us by not coming forth when he knew.
To bask in the heart felt words of the deviantART community knowing full well a healing truth for our torment is monster.
Neil Braithwaite of Aylesbury, England; I despise the words of kindness that I wrote from my heart in your honor. I'm embarrassed for your family and I'm disgusted in a way I've never been before.
As warm as my words once were and as graciously as this community treated your passing; I hope you have the capacity in you today to feel the way you should.

It is worth noting that I brought this information to the public because you deserve to know; and he never did.

How's it going?
How's it going around here? At a glance, it appears that the recommendations team is doing a fantastic job with the home environment. The quality of stuff I'm interested in is way up- all fresh and recent. I don't see much AI artwork, which was really over-taking the place for a moment. How's everyone feeling these days? I've had a fun break. Didn't know how much I needed it.
A New Chapter Begins
Dearest Deliciously Devious DeviantArt, Our community is not only the largest community the Internet has ever seen; I’ve traveled around the world and met so many of you, and through all of my interactions at Comic-Cons, World Tours, Deviant Meets and random gatherings I’ve always said that the very special bond of creativity that binds us all, actually results in a very caring and sweet group of people. Our community of Deviants are also the best, kindest, most sincere people who have ever congregated at such a scale under one umbrella. I’ve been the Shepard of that umbrella for 22 years, and that has been my greatest joy and my greatest professional love. I’ve tried through all of it to remain centered on the principals and care that each of you have instilled in me, and I’ve tried to push forward standing behind the projects that I felt were the best aligned with our values as a community. The entire journey of DeviantArt has had its many chapters, this past 5+ years at Wix have
Seeing the world through Rose Colored Glasses
I went to the Whitney Museum in NYC recently to check out the Jasper Johns exhibit. I'm a big fan of his work and I wanted to better understand his twists and turns during the 80's and 90's. Incredible exhibit! The elevator is HUGE and really awesome at the Whitney.. 🥰 This isn't Jasper Johns work but anyway it's me checking stuff out We exited through the gift ship and... We've all heard the expression, "Seeing the world through rose colored glasses", right? Well I had no idea they were such a great life hack.. the Whitney sold these Color Therapy Glasses.. ... and they really work! Especially the magenta ones are just incredible for making the best of a gloomy day. If you've never tried it, I highly recommend a pair. Especially if you're sensitive to gloomy days! I'm not trying to sell products here, but if you want a link on Amazon here it is here it is. There's nicer versions out there but these are $11. ($25 at the Whitney hehe)
Team and GV at NYC
About a month ago we visited NFT NYC to see what all the hype was about. Ran into Gary Vee and Steve J, great to catch up. Einat & Jules ... we're all pretty happy to be out in the world after this long and cold corona winter.. myself, Liat, Jules, and Moti in Times Square.. Crazy to see all of NYC taken over by NFT's. A lot of force behind the movement, a lot of money and celebrities and companies. Still a very polarizing topic, but we still need to learn about it, right? Doing a lot of learning this year...
