In the west, there were were no tobacco companies....and the 'temptation' never came up. Didn't blame the illustrators for taking their money....it was plentiful. But, even though I smoked when I started working, I knew it was wrong for my health...we all did. Never portrayed anyone smoking in my ads, that I remember. Wait a N.Y. second....the first billboard, Rainier Beer...had a guy with a pipe. Can't remember any more. Again, great commentary, and an interesting week.... thanks.Charlie Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-41164874410289547092009-06-26T17:23:31.489-04:002009-06-26T17:23:31.489-04:00Leif,

It's great, with those colors, the stylized fruits, and those fat lines around the product.<br /><br />Aside from the Blair stuff, however, where I might normally side with the modernist stuff, I really enjoy the "Reward Yourself" series the most. It's just very charming and accomplished illustration and subject matter. Aside from the evil cigarettes, that is.Harleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-63420095836815453362009-06-26T10:38:11.865-04:002009-06-26T10:38:11.865-04:00Ha ha ha - compliments, Leif.
