I'm so very sad to hear of the passing of Robert W. Richards, an out artist and illustrator with whom I was quite friendly over the years.
Richards was born in 1941 in a small town in Maine. He sketched fashion shows for major newspapers, and wound up creating fabulous illustrations for many Peter Allen concerts (and for his Broadway show Legs Diamond), as well as for the album covers of his musical friends — who included Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Shore, Lena Horne and Peggy Lee.
He was also, later, noted for his gay erotic art, which is how I encountered him — when he drew for Mandate and other Mavety Media publications when I worked for them.
