i want to find out how to reach an artist, Gahan Wilson, a famous
cartoonist to see if I can hire him to do cover and or interior art
for a book

Hello.

A couple years ago, Gahan Wilson had an official web site (i.e.,
gahanwilson.com). That site is not currently active, but a copy of it
is stored at the Internet Wayback Machine (archive.org):
http://web.archive.org/web/20020530093010/http://www.gahanwilson.com/

One of the pages indicates:

"How to contact us...
www.gahanwilson.com is the official site for American cartoonist Gahan Wilson.
e-mail us (pbwinters@aol.com)."
http://web.archive.org/web/20020605054036/www.gahanwilson.com/howtocontactus.htm

Another page lists the same email address:

"Advertising Contact:
Gahan Wilson has drawn cartoon art for countless advertising campaigns
for magazines, major corporations, record companies, and motion
pictures.
To contact Gahan Wilson regarding advertising, please e mail us:
email pbwinters@aol.com."
http://web.archive.org/web/20020605051530/www.gahanwilson.com/advertsing.htm

A whois search for the GahanWilson.com domain indicates:

"Administrative Contact:
      Winters, Paul  
      P.O. Box 46578
      Los Angeles, CA  90046
      US
      323-656-9801
http://www.whois.sc/gahanwilson.com

The same contact information is listed for Mr Winters' company, Canyon Press.
http://www.canyonpress.com/aboutus.htm

It also appears that Mr Winters has served as producer for some of
Gahan Wilson's projects.

Hi,
The system is set up in such a way that after something has been
posted in the "Answer" section, it is impossible for additional
answers to be posted for payment.

If any other researchers or visitors wish to add anything to a
question that has already been answered, they may only do so in the
"Comments" section below.  All "comments" are free.
