I'm looking for a good large clear picture of an 80's B.C Rich Gunslinger or Assassin that has the girl made famous by artist Patrick Nagel. I've googled, searched tons of BC Rich, 80's websites, and Posion photo galleries trying to find it. C.C DeVille played several back in the day. If anyone has a good clear shot of one these guitars or could direct me somewhere that would have it, you'd be helping me out alot!

I was just gonna say, where are all these Nagels you speak of? lol

I did manage to find this Gunslinger, this is pretty much the finish I want, but I'd like to find a few bigger and better shots...if only I would have kept my Metal Edge magazines from the 80's!!

Sort of reminds me of the art that some salons have. The art doesn't look that complicated to draw.

Hahahahah that is actually exactly poinht. Nagel would actually work from photographs. He would strip the image down to its barest shapes and lines. He would literally start with an image full of depth and detail then delete it. His artwork was influenced by the art deco style in the 30's hence the bareness and weird color palette that he updated for an 80's feel. Many of the prints you saw in salons were actually Nagels. Though other artists mimic'd his style. Though usually without the cheesy 80's over use of mauve and teal.

Though to me far more interesting and ironic is Patrick Nagels death... When he was 38 he participated in a aerobics marathon that was held to fund research for heart disease, the american heart association or something similar. After the event he left, he was found in his car dead... from a heart attack.
