Thomas Richman Blackshear II (born November 14, 1955)[1] is an African-American artist whose paintings adorn many Evangelical churches.

Blackshear's illustrations for numerous postage stamps have issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS).

A touring exhibit of his Black Heritage works premiered in 1992 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

Blackshear's original oil paintings in the Western Nouveau genre similar to “Dance of the Wind and Storm” and the other pieces used for The Killers's album can be found at the Broadmoor Galleries in Colorado Springs.
