Biography of the artist:

"I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and served honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps, before starting at Warner Bros. Studios in November of 1964 on Frank Sinatras production of Marriage on the Rocks. Ive been a member of the Art Directors Branch of the Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1979.

I had been president of Local 790, I.A.T.S.E., The Illustrators and Matte Artists, since 1978.

Besides the various matte paintings I did on Flesh Gordon, I also painted the scenic backdrop landscape for the end monster sequence and animated the constellation sequence through which the Queen Amora swan ship flies. The magazine, Cinefantastique, Vol. 5, No. 2, 1976, pp. 40-45, details who did what for the many effects sequences in Flesh Gordon and why so many of the crew went uncredited.

In addition to Flesh Gordon, I also executed matte paintings for Irwin Allens When Time Ran Out and Richard Brooks Wrong Is Right. As a production illustrator, I do not only conceptual illustrations of the sets and storyboards of the films sequences, but also when the occasion demands, designing the matte (now CGI) shots for the film productions. Several films that immediately come to mind that I designed mattes for, include the various Irwin Allen projects: The Towering Inferno, The Swarm, When Time Ran Out and Alice in Wonderland; as well as Alfred Hitchcocks The Torn Curtain, Tora! Tora! Tora!, The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox, Annie, Megaforce, Wrong Is Right, Volcano, Naked Gun 33 1/3, Escape from LA, Volcano, Star Trek: First Contact, Space Cowboys, Phantom of the Opera (2004), The Santa Clause 2 & 3 and Flags of Our Fathers.
