A wonderful page that I stumbled upon by accident. I published ALGOL, which changed its name to STARSHIP. I still have a couple hundred overprints of the art from the cover of ALGOL #24. The cover and the overprints were done on 10 point Kromecote, a gloriously glossy paper. Hinge was a wonderful artist, but was always a real pain to work with: he was exacting, exasperating, found it hard to compromise. I also have several originals by him on my walls, including what is reproduced here as the cover for MEDIASCENE. This was actually the preliminary for two monumental paintings, one of Richard Dreyfuss, the other the alien spacecraft over the Devil's Tower. Both now hang in my bedroom. I have several preliminary color roughs which I see now became the cover for Nancy Springer's THE WHITE HART, plus another painting which is not here. Several of his b&w pieces were printed on colored paper and sold as posters, but none of my copies has survived, as they fell apart with age. He died intestate, leaving no will, and the state of Pennsylvania arranged a vast auction of his work via artist representative Jane Frank of "Worlds of Wonder" on-line gallery at PhilCon, a convention held after his death, where I acquired several of the pieces that hang in my apartment. I am posting the link to this page on various group pages; I am sure the interest in Mike's work remains high.
ReplyDeleteAs an old friend of Mike's, I'm delighted to see his inimitable work displayed and appreciated here. His unique creativity deserves to be remembered and celebrated.
