Life:
Mentor Huebner may have been the real "world's most prolific artist." A charming, charismatic man of boundless energy, Huebner worked in all three classifications of film illustration (on some 250 motion pictures) - a process that contributed to his output of around 40,000 drawings. He designed theme parks and restaurants, and taught life drawing classes for over a quarter century. His masterful Post-Impressionist paintings were his true joy, though, and that for which he is here remembered.
