Rory Kurtz Illustration

Rory Kurtz is a self-taught 34 year old artist. He is a native of Milwaukee who actually worked in photography until this career came to an end a few years ago. He was encouraged to get back to his childhood root passion of drawing. Once he did, he became very popular where ever he showed his work. I found his work in the Sept / Oct 2013 issue of Communication Arts magazine.

The details in this first one just blew me away. I love the details in the buildings. Even the skyscraper behind the giant robot has detailed perspective lines as if it were a glass window tower in Chicago. 

When I saw this boy in his Spiderman tank-top, I got a deep feeling of Norman Rockwell. 

The same for these last two. I just feel Norman Rockwell surrounding them and love the beautiful style of Rory Kurtz. There were more illustration shown in the Communication Arts article about him. You can see that his style is consistent, soft, intentional and extraordinary. See more at his website.
