Paul is one of the six artists featured in the VISIONS OF NEVER book, from Vanguard - he's got a 20 page section with a detailed bio (including reflection and insight from Vincent DiFate) as well as roughly 25 images, all pulled from Paul's own transparencies. It's by far the largest gathering of his work in book form (which some smart publisher needs to change by giving him a monograph!!).Pat Wilshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462487756817593576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954028813142526447.post-26819602783906331402012-08-27T11:16:53.429-04:002012-08-27T11:16:53.429-04:00Hi Bruce,

He was a fine artist first and illustrator second. His book cover paintings were luscious to see in person and I was fortunate to handle a good number of them while working in his agent's (Frank & Jeff Lavaty)office towards the end of his career. <br /><br />His color sketches were equally beautiful and amazing. They typcally were small, about 8 x 5 inches, and quite abstract in the looseness of the paint application. Colors were always intense and unconventioanl in his highly original style. Little gems!<br /><br />I never met him but we talked regularly on the phone as illustration jobs came and went. He had a somehwhat deep, soothing voice that matched his mellow, humble demeanor. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Steven<br /><br />Steven Kennyhttp://www.stevenkenny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954028813142526447.post-72104268399474837872012-04-23T14:42:23.665-04:002012-04-23T14:42:23.665-04:00thanks you!thanks you!Bruce Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419236212277890603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954028813142526447.post-75017508012532395622012-04-23T09:44:34.963-04:002012-04-23T09:44:34.963-04:00You're most adorable yet!You're most adorable yet!Caerphillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092619307263596888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954028813142526447.post-32911560149960795962012-04-05T12:35:27.064-04:002012-04-05T12:35:27.064-04:00thanks!
