C. Michael Dudash Biography

Completed over 1800 oil paintings and assignments for clients world-wide. His earlier illustration career focused on creating artwork for the movie industry, advertisers, publishers, books, magazines, design firms, corporations and institutions such as the United Nations, and the US Postal Service. They have won him a national reputation and numerous awards, from the Society of Illustrators (NYC & LA), the Society of Publication Designers, Communications Arts and HOW Magazine.  
Although he has increasingly been turning his attention to painting the characters and history of the old west, Michael still loves to paint the variety of subjects that he finds around him, and is equally adept at masterfully handling landscapes, figures, portraits and still lifes.

Clint Eastwood owns the original oil of the artwork for Pale Rider.
