very nice
your dad was coby whitmore?
holy moly.
there's a story.
the first real home that my daughter and i had after we found our new family was in a bus. the bus was owned by "Quince" (don't ask) whose great-uncle was a fairly famous illustrator in the late 40's and early 50's.
Red, did you ever meet Joe DeMers? Quince had this huge collection of old magazines with his g-uncle's and other's illustrations featured prominently. He was going to toss the stack of mags, but i snagged them and cut out the colourful illustrations. I papered the ceiling and walls of the cubby we slept in with them.
i really liked Whitmore's illustrations (DeMer's not so much..a bunch of pinup girls, etc), and most of the ceiling (less than a meter from our heads when we were in bed) was covered with his work.
i'm really stoked to pass on my heartfelt thanks and convey my admiration of Red's father.
*HUG*
The internets are too cool!
mick, yeah i new joe fairly well as our families both moved to the same island, a then tiny community. i actually have a few of his daughter dani's pieces in my home, she's quite good (my brother got the original by joe that hung in our family home ;-[ ).
i disagree with you about joe however, for one i love pinups, but more so i think that he was a real talent both as an illustrator and later as an artist. i looked around for some of his more interesting stuff on the net but found too little.
i did find this which is good but not that representitive. in my eys his real strengths were innovative color usage and compostion.
though I must say I am interested to hear about the bus burning ~grin~
heh..Lo. yes. with more than a dozen parents, all skilled musicians and craftspeople, who traveled in a caravan 6-9 months of the year, i'd say that colourful sums it up nicely. *nod*
yes indeedy, GearedUp. the internets are absolutely cool.
............
now.. back to awesome illustrations...
i was going to stick this in the "fail" thread, but it's way too sweet and clean for that.
From the awesome comic Pearls Before Swine.
