MEL HUNTER




In the more than twenty years since Mel has decide to devote all his efforts to making original lithographs, he has produced more than 150 editions, many of them very large images. This large body of work represents retail sales to collectors in millions of dollars, a fair indication that his work is positioned squarely in the mainstream.



Mel began as a magazine and book illustrator , his first major cover idea was sold to Galaxy magazine. Science fiction quickly moved to science, as he was accepted by Northrop Aircraft as a specialized concept illustrator, painting advanced interceptors and pilotless bombers for Pentagon evaluation. He later free-lanced, producing thousands of drawings and paintings for major publications such as National Geographic, Life, Collier's Newsweek, Encyclopedia Americana and many of the Time-Life books.



In 1967 he moved his home to a farmhouse in rural Vermont, and began painting and drawing the land, the animals and birds upon it and the changing seasons of the semi-wilderness which surrounded him. There followed a lovely group of more than 150 watercolours of his series "Birds of the Northeast", all of which sold through the galleries of Abercrombie and Fitch of New York.
