You do not want to miss this authentic item from Mel Hunter, the master of Illustration Art. Mel Hunter (1927 - 2004): In 1950, Mel made up his mind to pursue a career in art and decided to teach himself illustration skills, which he did after work, on weekends, and in all other spare time, working in his kitchen table. After three years of steady effort, the self-taught artist sold his first color cover idea to Galaxy Magazine. From 1955 to 1971, among many other themes, Mel painted 15 covers for the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction depicting a lone robot ( The Last Man) moving through bleak landscapes that suggested a post-nuclear holocaust, bravely acting out human rituals. For the World project, Mel pioneered techniques for pre-separated color drawings using DuPont Mylar as a drawing surface. This process greatly reduced the cost of color-illustrated books and furthered his career by opening the way for his later fine art lithography prints.
