Jack Fellows is the artist and color profile illustrator for the Eagles Over the Pacific book series. His career as an artist spans a period of over 45 years, both as a commercial artist and a painter of fine art. His intense interest in the history of the Pacific air war led to his origination of the Cactus Air Force Art Project, dedicated to the collecting and archiving of historical data relating to that period. Most of his work today illustrates military aviation in the Pacific. An artistic counterpoint to Jack’s military history illustrations is his work as a fine art painter, focusing on figurative pieces, landscapes, and occasionally maritime subjects as well. Above all else, he favors the opportunity to paint landscapes in Europe, particularly around the Mediterranean. Jack was invited to show his landscape work at the prestigious Peppertree Ranch Art Show in California in May 2004.

Jack’s work is widely collected in the United States and abroad, by museums and by private collectors. He has won a number of awards over the years, including the R.G. Smith Award for Excellence in Naval Aviation Art (2004), and he is the originator and primary financial backer of the Capt. Duane Whitney Martin Vietnam Airwar Award for Artistic Excellence, awarded annually by the American Society of Aviation Artists (ASAA). He was president of the American Society of Aviation Artists from 1995 to 1997, is a Life Member of the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Painters, a member of the USAF Art Program, and a guest lecturer for the Museum of Flight Visiting Aviator Series. He has approximately one hundred postage stamp designs to his credit, and most of his work is available via JackFellows.com.
