Frank Frazetta. H.R. Giger. Hieronymus Bosch.

Over the past couple of centuries, few artists have achieved the legendary status like that of Frank, H.R. and Hieronymus. Shawn Palek is on his way to infamy, via the route of his Airbrush artwork. With coming up on 28 years of experience in the industry, Shawn has achieved success over many spans of media, such as Art Shows, Competitions, Teaching, Television Interviews, Magazines and Rallies. He’s accumulated many awards, and friends along the way.

When asked what the best advice he’d ever received, it was “Get to Work!” That no one was going to do the work for him. He knew then, at the age of 19, that he wanted to leave his mark on this world, in one way or another! The airbrush found him, and he has mastered it’s ability to achieve great things. Just like the airbrush found him, Shawn also believes he will always need to find the right person for each of his one-of-a-kind paintings. “The rightful owners of the painting are out there, you just have to find them!”

Shawn is a master of “Speed-Realism.” He spends his days teaching at a local college, participating in/and curating various art shows, as well as working on commission works for clients.
