A legend dies: Bernie Fuchs

I stumbled upon this article this morning while reading the news. Bernie Fuchs, 76 Dies
Bernie Fuchs was definitely someone I have studied and looked up to. A major influence to me (although I would not say on my style) but mostly in underpaintings and lift out techniques. He did some seriously awesome paintings and probably became one of - if not the biggest - influences for contemporary illustration in the later part of the 20th Century.
