Glen Orbik (1963 – May 11, 2015) was an American illustrator known for his fully painted paperback and comic covers, often executed in a noir style.[1][2]

In the 1970s, Orbik and his mother moved to Douglas County, Nevada. He is a 1981 graduate of Douglas High School in Minden, Nevada.[1] He studied art at the California Art Institute then located in Encino, later Calabasas, California, and now located in Westlake Village.[citation needed] He studied under the school's founder, retired movie and advertisement illustrator Fred Fixler.[3]

Orbik eventually took over the classes when Fixler retired from teaching and taught figure drawing after returning from an extended hiatus.[citation needed] His work has been compared to Alex Ross and Robert McGinnis,[citation needed] and he was a popular teacher among fine art, comic, and video game artists.[citation needed] He most recently worked on a series of paperback covers for the Hard Case Crime series of novels.[4]

Orbik resided in Van Nuys, California.[1] He died on May 11, 2015 of cancer.[5]
