Cover painting by
Mark Beard(I think he is the same artist that created the outstanding paintings on the walls of the flagship store in NYC. God,
his paintings range from $18,000 to $1,500 a piece. Just imagine how much Abercrombie & Fitch Co. paid him to paint the collages of naked guys in their most profitable store!!!
After reading his Bio, I discovered that he is resposible for the "mural painting, friezes and bronze sculpture" in Abercrombie & Fitch in New York, Los Angeles, and London flagship stores. Beautiful work, Mark. Just beautiful.)
