Parent Richard - born July 2, 1958 Montreal. DIED August 5, 1993
He studied advertising graphics and several years later participated in the first steps of the Association of Illustrators of Quebec. Subsequently, he exiled himself to London for three years ( 1985 - 1988 ) where he collaborated on several publications and worked for several publishing houses. Following his return to Montreal, he worked closely with the McGill University Press, where he created more than forty cover pages. In 1990, B.A.T. magazine supported him by publishing an interview depicting him as one of the best 100 illustrators in the world. A return to London within the framework of a joint exhibition with Anita Kunzt at Canada House allowed him to start a personal project consisting of a series of pencil portraits, as well as to work on his magazine Noir Express. The latter was intended to serve as a bridge between illustration and the new literature by offering artists a place to express themselves and to confront each other. Illness claimed him on August 5, 1993, before he could fulfil this dream. Through his work, it is possible to perceive the seriousness of his vision, his lucid manner of seeing man, and man's relationship with others, and to portray the absurd. His entire work is marked by his incredible ability to make the chimera emerge from each anecdote, the fantastic from ordinary things. [SOURCE - AIIQ]

Plyley, RW 'Russ'
"General Steel Workers plant in Fergus, Ontario, GSW was the modern name of a storied company called Beatty Brothers, which started out making farming implements (everything from wash tubs to hay cradles) and gradually shifted into electric appliances like washing machines. It became a huge company that employed half the town during World War Two when production shifted to weapons of war, and started publishing this monthly propaganda magazine for the employees. Every issue of Victory has tons of photos of factory workers at work and at play, working night-and-day to supply the military with crucial Nazi-beating supplies.
"… I found a ton of cartoons and illustrations by Beatty Bros staff artist R.W. "Russ" Plyley. Plyley was a skilled draftsman who also did architectural and patent drawings for the firm (there's a picture of him painting a mural in this set), and later became a local painter of note. His cartooning is nothing special, the sort of chops a skilled artist could pick up from studying the newspaper comics page or a popular "how-to" book or correspondence course, but they are lively and add quite a bit to the look of this old magazine. I'm sure Plyley made safety posters for the factory as well." [source - Regis Philbert, Facebook]
