Illustrated Man...I’ve been a big fan of Ray Bradbury so years ago I illustrated the cover of a Bradbury anthology and years later my older brother who collected science fiction books was super excited as he showed me the book I had illustrated that he found on eBay that was signed by Bradbury and he wanted me to sign it next to Bradbury’s signature which seemed like I wasn’t worthy to do that but he convinced me so I did it. I was with my brother years later as cancer was ravaging him and I wanted that book to remind me of him but I couldn’t ask him because we were pretending that he was going to beat cancer which he didn’t so maybe this painting has some of those feelings in it #illustratedman #raybradbury #lifeisshort #urbansurreslism #larryhergert #sciencefiction #scifiartwork #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrrA8xHHqf/?igshid=1eiewmzjeb2kx
