Norman Saunders

One of the greatest commercial illustrators and painters, Norm Saunders work spanned decades and inspired untold numbers of artists. While most of his work was for hire and commercial, some of his originals catch up to $50,000-100,000 at auctions. I had looked for an original a few years back to find that I couldn't come close to affording one.

His early work had included pulp and book covers but some of my favorite stuff was his Mars Attacks and Wacky Packages art he'd done.
