I've watched a lot of movies, and experienced death more than I care to acknowledge. But I can't think of another movie star that passed away who I watched so many times on the silver screen in a movie theater. Though unsure, I believe this great poster art was painted by Richard Amsel. #Redford

Started painting pin-up for poster, magazine, and book publishers. As time passed, advertisers and corporations like Unilever, or institutions like MLB became interested. The best experiences came when garment makers signed on. Miss Feeney's Finery is atop that list. #pinup #paint #art #neckties

"When we first moved here I didn't know what to do with myself, so I'd go to the beach with a sketchbook and started drawing these guys that had long wood boards they'd carry out to the water, hop on 'em and ride back to shore. That's how the Silver Surfer was born." #JackKirby #BOTD #comics #marvel

Laziness, procrastination or insecurity was never an issue with the handful of my books that have been published. I am a well trained artist, not a writer. You paint or write even when you don't feel like it because that's what it means to be a professional. Creativity is not magic. It's hard work.
