He was also one of the most prolific illustrators of the 20th Century, painting and drawing artwork for hundreds of eye-catching magazine advertisements, fashion spreads, “Sports Illustrated” articles, and “TV Guide” profiles. Bob Peak is also responsible for 45 “Time” magazine covers. Bob Peak was commissioned by the U.S. Postal Service for 30 stamps for the 1984 Summer Olympics in LA and the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
