He was far from great, but very original and influential. His artwork seemed to exist as an extreme counterpoint to mature art, which in a way makes it just as significant as the crafts of good artists. At least for what it brings to conversation. You could even call him the Rembrandt of low-brow.

He is creating brave warriors to escort Lena Horne to the land of the ancestors!

So that's who did all those posters I used to see in the store years ago... damn.

Totally disagree. He does a fantastic job with the media he uses. He's a master of mood and atmosphere, of anatomy and indication of detail without getting too bogged down in it. That he occupies only a niche in the art world is no stain against his talent.

He was definitely a Pioneer of the Fantasy Art genre....

As well as the cause of many a tween geeks masturbation.....
