"Itā€™s easy to dismiss the technical prowess of Nagelā€™s work, as his style is easily replicated digitally nowadays. But keep in mind that all of his images were actual paintings, typically acrylic paint on stretched canvas. In total, he left behind a body of work of more than 400 paintings. But more importantly, he created a style that truly defined, and influenced an entire decade. The ā€˜Nagelā€™ style is now synonymous with the look of the ā€™80ā€™sā€™.

Patrick Nagel died tragically at the young age of 38. During a 15-minute celebrity ā€œAeroba-thonā€ to raise funds for the American Heart Association, he suffered a fatal heart attack due to a congenital heart defect that went un-identified his entire life."

That show isā€¦ actually a bit funnier than I expected for something that just seems like a gimmick-flavored rehash of Archer
