William Gilkerson

I'm very sorry to hear of his passing! It seems lately that we are losing so many talented people, not just from our field, but many (musicians, comedians, artists, etc). I guess I'm getting old!

Rick, very nice painting! I'm assuming it's one of Gilkerson's?

Yep, it is Mark; but it's a litho edition of 500 signed by the master himself. The painting was commissioned by a Massachusetts defense contractor.
Bill has or had a website with several different prints for sale. He also wrote a couple of novels: Pirates Passage and Ultimate Voyage.
