Artist Profile: George Geygan


When I was looking for information on the artist George Geygan, I came across a memorial for a George T. Geygan at FindAGrave.com.

George T. Geygan was born in 1910 and died in 1974.  Since most of George Geygan’s illustrations were done in the 1950s, the years work.  Unfortunately, the only other information on the memorial page was that George T. Geygan served as a private in the U.S. Amry and was buried at Long Island National Cemetery.  If I had to guess, I would say that the George T. Geygan who served in the army is the same George Geygan who created the illustrations below.   George Geygan isn’t exactly a common name. However, I can’t say for sure.

For now, what I know for sure is that all the wonderful work below was done by an artist named George Geygan:

Artist Profile: Leo Morey (1899 — 1965)


Born in Peru to a well-off family, Leo Morey wanted to be an artist from his earliest years.  However, his father had other plans and insisted that Leo become an engineer.  At the age of 19, Leo set sail for the United States, where he studied at School of Engineering at Louisiana State University.  Morey graduated, with a degree in engineering, in 1922 but by 1932 he was living in New York City and making his living as an illustrator.  Though Morey worked in all the pulp genres, he was best known and best regarded for his science fiction work.  Morey worked through the mid-60s and is today considered to be one of the best of the pulp era science fiction illustrators.
