everyone has several artists that influence them and John Berkey has always been on the top of my list. he passed away this year and i've been wanting to do a tribute to him for awhile. one of the main reasons i was drawn to him as an artist was because he made up or invented so much of what he painted. this to me was the supreme end goal and i tailored my education around getting the skills that would allow me to do the same. i collected everything i could on him before the publication of the two books on his art and wanted to share some of the clipings from my collection that aren't usually seen. i had the privelge of meeting John one Christmas and i know that oppurtunity made me a better artist.
