Do you know if Owen is related in some way?<br />Thank you Angie Blubaugh tazbuster@hotmail.comtazbusternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-44935269875508993122010-08-24T17:31:17.746-04:002010-08-24T17:31:17.746-04:00Thank you for showing these I really like his earl...Thank you for showing these I really like his early work with the great<br />drawing. The color schemes he used were his own and untypical. I haven't seen the examples shown today and I like them a lot. All of these are about 50 years old<br />and still exciting to look at.haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847533962327140580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-27795466304812436832010-08-24T17:30:46.374-04:002010-08-24T17:30:46.374-04:00I had exactly the same reaction to Peak's edit...I had exactly the same reaction to Peak's editorial illos as Charlie.. dare I be facetious here, and say great minds think alike? ;-) <br /><br />His advertising illustrations seemed to me to be more flamboyant and energized.. like the excitement of a Mardi Gras parade, full of energy, flair and fun color combinations. I wonder if he didn't feel more comfortable doing ad illustrations and Sports Illustrated assignments, which were more lively. However, I 'm not implying that most of his editorial stuff wasn't great too. I always thought he had a real sense for dramtic elegance and fashion, and it would show up in virtually all his illos.<br /><br />Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-23632993606297124532010-08-24T15:58:37.241-04:002010-08-24T15:58:37.241-04:00Wow!....Very different Peak examples.

With the exception of the second scan, obviously advertising (including the clips in my file), the work is editorial in subject, style, and originality. Very different....very creative....and most not looking at all typical of Peak's work. The guy was great....no doubt about it....and his attitude and thoughts on illustration were so logical.
