It’s nice to see Bernie Fuchs painting on Heritage. Commercial illustrators don’t have the fan base comic artists have so they tend to get lumped in with fine art or gallery artists. But unless you’re a Gary Kelly or Brad Holland, there is very little following for most illustrators… not much demand for a painting promoting mutual funds or crest toothpaste.
The painting presented here is very 80s. Many others like Bart Forbes and Toronto’s own Will Davies were practicing this style of painting. The style is a particular favorite of mine and the underlying draftsmanship is top notch! I wonder what they could do if they had an interest in comics… hmmm.
