DescriptionOriginal art for the cover to Eerie 128 by Kirk Reinert, circa 1982. Approximate image size 13.5" x 18.5" on a larger 14" x 19" rigid art board...oil paint on art board. Kirk Reinert created only four covers for Jim Warren's seminal horror magazines, Creepy and Eerie. Fortunately, for me, this is one of my favorite Warren covers...complete with a painted Eerie logo!!!"Kirk Reinert is an American artist in the genres of Fantasy, horror, and science fiction. Kirk discovered that drawing was a natural talent at a very early age having been introduced to art by his grandfather, a sports cartoonist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and his uncle, an animator. Kirk graduated from Cooper School of Art with a degree in production art and design but is a self-taught painter. Upon graduation, he worked in advertising as an illustrator and designer and after 3 1/2 years went on to establish his own studio in 1981. Kirk became one of the leading illustrators in the genres of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. During his career as a book cover artist, he has painted over 200 book covers, including projects such as the 'Conan the Barbarian' series and Clive Barker's novels. He has won many awards including "Cover Artist of the Year" for his "Creepy" and "Eerie" magazine covers at Warren publishing and he has been honored 4 times with the "National Best Book Cover of the Year" awards for work done with Harper/Collins publishers. Also from that era, his book cover paintings were exhibited at the Society of Illustrators in NYC. In addition, Kirk has worked as a conceptual designer for a major motion picture, painted album covers and worked with rock groups such as 'KISS', worked as an art director on video projects, and has been involved in toy design and package design for Hasbro.For the last 18 years, Kirk has concentrated primarily on painting fine art pieces which have shown in galleries across the country and in Japan."
