He combines jazz and mid-century illustration - my two favorite arts. I am always on the lookout for stuff by Martin that I have not seen, and you've got a couple of things in here which are new to me, so I am really psyched.<BR/><BR/>Here's one of my favorite David Stone Martin record covers:<BR/><BR/>http://www.vinylrevival.com/likewow/vol2/charlieventura.jpg<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the posts.

They put out many how-to books. This one, The Art Of Drawing With Pencil, Pen And Brush, is by DSM. it shows step by step how he created his work, plus it has an updated photo of the author. Looking forward to a week with this amazing talent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
