John Schoenherr is an American illustrator who was born in New York City, July 5, 1935. He is a graduate of Stuyvesant High School.[1] He studied art at The Art Students League of New York with Will Barnet and at Pratt Institute. Much of the considerable and well-deserved attention he has received is based on his work as a science fiction illustrator.

He illustrated the original magazine serializations of Dune for them, as well as the covers for Anne McCaffrey's "Weyr Search" and "Dragonrider
