Artist Bernie Wrightson lost his long battle with brain cancer and all the beautiful, wonderful monsters and horrible things in the shadows are now, sadly, much further away from us.
I, like many other artists, grew up in awe of Bernie Wrightson’s work.
Most all professional artists I know, if you talk to them long enough, will eventually say something like, “Well, I’m no Frazetta or Wrightson, but I try!”
I own a dozen or so Wrightson paintings, pen-and-inks, pencil sketches, comic pages and film concept art pieces.
