Jack started teaching early on in his career.<br /><br />I know he told me but my memory on it is fuzzy.Daniel Zhttp://www.zalkus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-51514921227115185952010-07-16T19:22:45.517-04:002010-07-16T19:22:45.517-04:00Hays' later work resembles airbrush illustrato...Hays' later work resembles airbrush illustrator Dave Willardson's stuff.Hays must have influenced Willardson.Considering he taught at the Los Angeles Art Center and Willardson was a student there,I guess it follows.That was a hot style in airbrush album cover and magazine art in the 80's.Steve Fastnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550271224882245081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-66175001546995984972010-07-16T18:39:55.678-04:002010-07-16T18:39:55.678-04:00Hays was Illustration Chair during my time at the ...Hays was Illustration Chair during my time at the Art Center, and one of m teachers. When showing his work, he once said he wanted it to look like no hand had touched it-- no brushstrokes, no evidence of the tools used to make it-- as though it wasn't made by a person. If you look at his late work he didn't sign it, he used a rubber stamp instead. I never heard him go into more detail about his style change.<br />Phil was a great guy, and responsible for educating some great modern illustrators. He worked very hard to teach us to find non-verbal solutions to our illustration problems.pezzettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544003769462868159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-67055495450228797642010-07-16T16:56:56.793-04:002010-07-16T16:56:56.793-04:00Never been too keen on Hays' rendering but his...Never been too keen on Hays' rendering but his compositions were consistently good.Love the interplay of shapes and tones in the beach scene.<br />I think Potter and Peak were a notch above however.Chad Sterlingnoreply@blogger.com
