Glen Orbik (1963 – May 11, 2015) was an American illustrator known for his fully painted paperback and comic covers, often executed in a noir style.
[1][2] In the 1970s, Orbik and his mother moved to Douglas County, Nevada.
[citation needed] He studied under the school's founder, retired movie and advertisement illustrator Fred Fixler.
[3] Orbik eventually took over the classes when Fixler retired from teaching and taught figure drawing after returning from an extended hiatus.
[citation needed] His work has been compared to Alex Ross and Robert McGinnis,[citation needed] and he was a popular teacher among fine art, comic, and video game artists.
