Gregory Manchess: A Titan of Illustration

Above the Timberline Gregory Manchess

I love looking at the best of the best, but when it comes to viewing inspiring illustrations, I love looking at Manchess. His illustrations are so brilliantly active and- well having seen him painting in action via video- I know that his skills are just as dynamic. Bold solid brushwork, simple, impressive, and swift, it kind of makes me a little jealous. He just put up a post on Muddy Colors and I loved reading his thoughts on composition. Well, I almost love everything he writes about painting. He continually makes me question what the difference is between fine art and illustration. He's made several paintings for National Geographic creating a series on the pirates of the Wydah. Very impressive work. Definitely recommend his latest post.
