While Dons Wikipedia page does not seem to coincide with the Pair of lithographs that are in this lot, he is in fact the artist whose art is depicted in these 2 lithographs and Signed. To say these are rare would be an accurate statement given the artists' notoriety as a surrealist and fantasy artist.
Don Ivan Punchatz (September 8, 1936 – October 22, 2009) was a science fiction and fantasy artist who drew illustrations for numerous books and publications, including magazines such as Heavy Metal, National Geographic, Playboy, and Time.[1] He illustrated album covers, and provided the cover art for session guitarist Steve Hunter's debut solo album, Swept Away. Characterized as a "skilled hyperrealist with a penchant for the fantastic and absurd" and "elegantly weird," he produced cover art for books by Harlan Ellison, Isaac Asimov and others.[2]
Punchatz was born in Arlington, Texas. In 1970, he started the SketchPad Studio there, where he trained dozens of apprentices (known as "the elves") and came to be known as the "Godfather of Dallas Illustration."[3] During 1993, id Software hired him to create the Doom video game package art and logo. The result was named the second best game box art of all time by GameSpy.[4] His son, Gregor Punchatz, has worked on special effects for several movies, and also created monster sculptures for Doom.[1]
