Description:
I am a realistic, narrative illustrator, which plainly stated means that I tell stories with pictures. I have painted covers for nearly every major publisher. I have paintings in the permanent collection of the USAF Art Collection, NASA, The Museum of American Illustration, and have created well over 2000 stamps for some 40 separate nations. I have illustrated more than a dozen children's books, and have painted the portraits of Royals, Political Leaders, and celebrated individuals from Nobel Laureates to film stars. I take pride in covering everything from the Pope to Popeye. Everything under the sun and beyond has a fascinating story that I love to tell with images." For two decades Joel Iskowitz has created artwork that has graced the covers of books, periodicals, journals and postage stamps worldwide. He is also an active Air Force artist, having documented missions from Cape Canaveral to commemorative ceremonies in India, China and Japan. He has a number of oils in the USAF permanent collection, including a major piece that hangs in the distinguished visitor's lounge at Andrews AFB and his new mural depicting the Berlin Airlift which is to be installed at the New Air Terminal in Ramstein, Germany. Mr. Iskowitz has been invited twice to document Space Shuttle missions and his artwork is on permanent display at the NASA Kennedy Space Center Museum. Mr. Iskowitz's artwork has been featured in many international journals including profiles of his philatelic art in Watercolor Magazine and his murals in Exhibit Builder Magazine. Private and public collections include the permanent collections of NASA, the US Air Force Art Program, the Museum of Catholic Art and History and the Museum of American Illustration. Awarded both bronze and silver medals for his corporate illustrations and grand scale public art in portfolio.com’s international competitions, Mr. Iskowitz has also received the NOAA citation for his contributions to Space Philately. The National Endowment for the Arts has selected Joel Iskowitz to be awarded the designation of Master Designer to join the United States Mint's Artistic Infusion Program which creates our nations' coins and medals.
