Great Work! Your last comment that Everett Kinstler as far as you know is fairly retired from the art world is far from true. Mr. Kinstler works every day and is one of the sharpest minds you could meet. He continues to produce stunning and challenging portraits and works of art for a long list of waiting clients. He is truly one of America's greatest living artists.

I know it's odd for my part... I know...

But the horses are absolutely stunning...

I've never heard his name before but it's really interesting...

For the past 40 or 50 years Kinstler has been one of the leading portrait artists in the country. He still speaks with pride regarding all the fields of art he worked in before settling on painting. He also illustrated for the pulp magazines, most notably the SHADOW. I first met him at a pulp convention then later at a portrait conference. Wonderful man, great storyteller!

There's a lot of great Kinstler art in Avon's titles from the early 50s. The Sci-fi books can be expensive - but the romance and western books can be found for a decent price in lower grades.

He would often draw the 1 page forewore to many Avon books during that era.

I was really enjoying that Hawkman story until the "Confucius Say" line. And it's not even the racism that bothers me, although that's bad too. It just doesn't make any sense, even by Golden Age kid comic standards! The art is great in all three stories. I never even heard of this guy, so it's quite a discovery. As good as all three stories are though, something about the art in the second one really "pops" the most. I don't know if it's the inking or the coloring but wow.

This run of Artists' Artists is really bringing up some wonderful art that I'd never seen or heard of! A real treasure trove.

What a marvellous idea, Brian!

Wow! That's beautiful work! Equal parts Alex Raymond and Joe Kubert. I've never even heard of the guy.
