Meet John Solie, yet another movie poster artist who now mainly does Western Art (Remember Robert Tanenbaum and Howard Terpning?). By the way, what’s up with all these ex-movie poster illustrators into Western Art? Maybe it pays better.
Anyway, Mr. Solie is well-known for his portraits of the well-known (i.e., celebrity portraits) and has done a ton of stuff for TV Guide, Reader’s Digest, and even NASA! I guess those astronauts must’ve loved Strange Brew.
My dad does good work…thanks for having him!
He’s a legend! So when you were growing up, did you put movie posters on your bedroom wall–or did you rebel by putting up swimsuit/centerfold posters?
He painted a cowboy on my door & an Indian on the closet…I got to color the other 3 walls with crayon!
Good dad!
Here’s a link to a 5 min video of him.
