Harry Borgman, who began his career in Detroit in the late 1940's, was
the subject of a week of posts on Today's Inspiration in October of 2007. Since that time, Harry and I have continued corresponding. Often, he'd express his keen interest in starting a blog of his own. Well now he has - and its an eclectic mix of the old and the new, because even at age 80, Harry's still going strong!
In fact, aside from Harry's many ongoing artistic endeavors, he's started not one, but
two blogs!
You'll see more of Harry's classic illustrations at
Harry Borgman Art and you'll find examples of Harry's "digital experiments, photomontages and fun stuff" at
Hairy Blogman.
Bookmark them both and visit often. Harry posts new material on a
very frequent basis.

Borgman rules. After I first saw his illustrations (it was years ago, can't remember where), I ordered his excellent book on pen and pencil drawing.
ReplyDeleteI like his drawing style because, much like Peak's, Whitmore's, Fuchs', Silverman's etc it is firmly rooted in tradition, yet at the same time has a very contemporary look.
When you contact him next time, tell him that he has fans in Europe, as well ;)
Thanks for that great comment, Valentino - I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, you can always tell Harry yourself by leaving a comment at his new blog!
