For the fth issue of PROOF!, we headed to East Hope, Idaho, where retired commercial illustrator Gary Kaemmer paints, sculpts, and builds working model airplanes from scratch. Kaemmer’s remarkable series, Famous Artists Portraits, comprises over 70 portraits of artists from Da Vinci to Basquiat – each painted in the artist’s particular style.
“Superb craftsmanship is a rarity in this digital world of immediacy and illusion. One outstanding exception is PROOF!, which is astonishing and memorable with its insightful pro les of truly creative masters.”
Ken Spiering, artist and educator
“I picked it up for the design. I opened it for the story. Thoughtful, clever and informative. I was engaged from the rst sentence.
Well done!”
Rebecca Templin, Cravens Coffee Company
