Ronald Volstad
Ronald "Ron" Volstad was born in 1949 in Claresholm, Alberta, Canada, where he still lives and works.
Drawing has been his favourite pastime from a very early age.
His interest in war subjects began before he entered first grade, when an uncle showed him his war photographs and mementos from his service with the Calgary Highlanders.
Like a number of leading war illustrators he had no formal art training, although he worked in the art department of a television company - before spending 15 years as a heavy equipment operator in the oil industry.
His first illustrations were published in 1970 (1973), and he has since become well known for his work for Squadron/Signal, Osprey and Dragon Models, a plastic model maker based in Hong Kong.
Ron has illustrated over 60 books and over 200 model boxes.
Watch him being interviewed in 2023 in his awesome workspace. [Youtube,engl,49min.]
As usual, I adjusted the original boxart in AFFINITY PHOTO to get a more realistic appearance without spoiling the original masterpiece.
