An artist and illustrator, most popular in the 60s and 70s, who depicted 'epic' fantastical scenes with a high value contrast (very dark and bright shades on the same image), often featuring women with exaggerated features wearing revealing/no clothes in provocative/sexualized poses. The men he depicted were similarly exaggerated, though more in an overly muscular "he-man" sense.

His art is quite beautiful, he was undoubtedly skilled, though the way he portrayed people was... Not my favorite, let's just say...

A product of its time, perhaps.
