Ren Wicks
(1911 - 1997?)
Wicks was an all-around artist, in a career that included NASA and postage stamps, but he excelled at two subjects in particular: wings and women. During WW2, he worked for Lockheed, contributing artwork for fighters and bombers that was used both in ad campaigns and in pilot handbooks. During the same period, Howard Hughes tapped him to do poster work for RKO, most memorably for Jane Russell in The Outlaw. Magazine illustration for Esquire, Redbook, Saturday Evening Post, Coronet. Ad work for Kotex, Edwards Coffee, and swimwear companies. Did several calendars and portfolios for Casinos in the 1960s (Harrah's, Harolds Club).
