It’s known the world over and it help propel id Software further into the spotlight. So it comes with a heavy heart to announce that the artist responsible for the legendary piece, Don Ivan Punchatz has died of cardiac arrest.

Punchatz (what a great surname) wasn’t just a one trick pony, his styles varied between photo-realism & surrealism. He also helped found Sketch Pad Studios launching the careers for other talent artists. Below is just a few of his most famous pieces.

LandsElite’s thoughts and best wishes are with the Punchatz family.
