How deliciously appropriate. <BR/><BR/>Well, thats what struck ME anyway.STAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198646624631167489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-53896799146461633472009-03-14T20:06:00.000-04:002009-03-14T20:06:00.000-04:00I had Murray for History of Illustration during my...I had Murray for History of Illustration during my Masters in Illustration studies at FIT. His course was entertaining, informative and even amazing.<BR/>He rarely spoke about his own works, but I love his illustrations and the variety of styles, especially the 1950-60s works.<BR/>I love Murray and his wife Carol.

I'd like to emphasize Murray's "ENJOY"...enjoying variety. Not two snowflakes are exactly same.<BR/><BR/>Guess illustrators are very well versed in typography. They have a great knowldge of lettering and letters, even if they mostly didn't do the lettering job themselves.<BR/><BR/>"The style is not dictated by whim, nor by the art director, but by the problem the job presents."<BR/><BR/>That's it, probably. What does dictate the lettering style in Leif's blog? What letters does he use? Impact? Comic Sans? Arial Black? Webdings...ore the script here...shnept...to verify my word?<BR/><BR/>No! Probably Leif's typing here is dictated by the problem the job presents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-88387208365117905802009-03-13T13:47:00.000-04:002009-03-13T13:47:00.000-04:00Murray is not only a terrific guy, he is a fountai...Murray is not only a terrific guy, he is a fountain of information about the field of illustration.
