Bernie Fuch (1932-2009)

I just got word that one of my greatest heroes of illustrations, Bernie Fuchs, has died.
He was arguably one of the most influential illustrators of the second half of the 20th century and I certainly would not be the painter that I am today without spending tireless hours studying and trying to replicate his paintings as a student (and then beyond).
He was a great inspiration to me and always will be.

Thanks Bernie.
