I do dig this guy's style, but am not wild about how every other painting of his features spike-helmeted German soldiers [check it--do a Google image search fer yourself] He was very prolific cranking out WWI propaganda cards. He surely got the message out there that joining up with the German army was the most surefire of surefire ways to get laid.

Kinda interesting (IMHO) that there were 2 such talented illustrators in the same family.
JC was older, and more famous
FX was the younger bro
Even though FX did not have the prolific output that his older bro did, he did have the distinction of creating the painting that was the artistic focal point of Casa de Tripper. Recognize it??--

| a SAD tableau we're witnessing here....she loves him...he only loves cheese. I do feel for the poor lass, and yet, I can't say as I blame him. It is CHEESE, after all. |

very excellent , very prolific illustrator. A lot of classic children's books to his credit. . .

too cool..
18.Lowell Hess
incredible career, this guy. You can scope out his website to get 1/2 an idea...
19.George Stavrinos
Such an 80s vibe to his work. Therefore, I'm in the right mood lately to appreciate it [if you read my itemized iTunes buys in my last post, you know..)

this guy should have more of an internet presence than he does. Awesome work...

I have an affinity for tripptastic paperback covers from the 60s/70s/early 80s. Tom Adams did these PLUS his covers were often for Agatha Christie stories (which I also dig very much)
29.Doug Johnson
His work has such a . . .roundness to it.

you might find this Berkey illustration more iconic--
but I have a soft spot for King Kong '76. I didn't get to see it back in the theaters back in the day, but I did have the ViewMaster reel and it was my utter FAAAAVE!!
