Don Ivan Punchatz
Don Ivan Punchatz (September 8, 1936 – October 22, 2009) was a science fiction and fantasy artist who drew illustrations for numerous books and publications, including magazines such as ''Heavy Metal'', ''National Geographic'', ''Playboy'', and ''Time''. He illustrated album covers, and provided the cover art for session guitarist Steve Hunter's debut solo album, ''Swept Away''. Characterized as a "skilled hyperrealist with a penchant for the fantastic and absurd" and "elegantly weird", he produced cover art for books by Harlan Ellison, Isaac Asimov and others.Punchatz was born in Arlington, Texas. In 1970, he started the SketchPad Studio there, where he trained dozens of apprentices (known as "the elves") and came to be known as the "Godfather of Dallas Illustration." During 1993, id Software hired him to create the ''Doom'' video game package art and logo. The result was named the second best video game box art of all time by ''GameSpy''. His son, Gregor Punchatz, has worked on special effects for several films, and also created monster sculptures for ''Doom''.
Punchatz suffered a cardiac arrest on October 11, 2009 and died in an Arlington hospital on October 22, 2009. Provided by Wikipedia
