It takes me back to those wonderful times. I met Will while taking some evening illustration courses with him at OCA, this would be back in the early 70s. He also invited some of us back to his studio in Yorkville, what a wonderful studio it was, full of props and his collection of military helmets. I got to see him work in Casien, Pelican inks and Guache and he certainly did some of his projects in oils, but not used in the traditional method. It was this glorious experience that moved me from being a Package designer to the field of illustration. He moved his studio to another location in Yorkville and shared space with Tom bjarneson, Tom McNeely and several others. Thanks for honouring Will and his art, what a truly great influence he was.wesley lowenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-91180826582199203952007-03-19T19:20:00.000-04:002007-03-19T19:20:00.000-04:00Inspiration is the word for this series.

It's the sort of example that should inspire each of us to push a little harder at whatever we aspire to. And to think you know him.<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-78532043263733042242007-03-16T12:50:00.000-04:002007-03-16T12:50:00.000-04:00Thank you da janx - you made my day! :-)Thank you da janx - you made my day! :-)leifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-59398678623529977382007-03-16T12:43:00.000-04:002007-03-16T12:43:00.000-04:00i've been a long time reader. this blog is one of ...i've been a long time reader. this blog is one of the best on the net. this series you're doing here is just a prime example. thank you for taking the time.CS Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922805661673183366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-72394715361503938982007-03-16T11:54:00.000-04:002007-03-16T11:54:00.000-04:00Fred; Thanks so much for your comment - its my fo...Fred; Thanks so much for your comment - its my fondest wish to learn about the real people and their experiences working in illustration during those times. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to hear more about your experiences working with TDF.
