The Ad from a year later looks like a completely different person- more like Dana Andrews.<br />But it's true, Fawcett is not a great conveyer of levity!Remonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-33184807061128452472011-12-18T15:33:27.344-05:002011-12-18T15:33:27.344-05:00Love the Von Schmidt art as well.
Love these those...Love the Von Schmidt art as well.<br />Love these those reindeers overflying a somewhat ghostly town. <br />So well drawn, the reindeers, anatomically correct as they are; painted in cool shades of blue, including faint Santa under a full moon.<br /><br />And then the only warm shades of ochre and yellow in the picture, in sharp contrast to all that cold blue. See that lonesome person, tinged in ochre and yellow, looking out from that window in sheer amazement<br /><br />Perhaps thats what's nowadays called a "window of opportunity";?Richnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-79969717426956599092011-12-17T01:57:58.208-05:002011-12-17T01:57:58.208-05:00Love the VonSchmidt art.Love the VonSchmidt art.Steve Fastnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550271224882245081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-60882050324201698252011-12-16T19:41:41.664-05:002011-12-16T19:41:41.664-05:00That Fawcett ad is painful.

Seems we can add warm, endearing Christmas scenes to the list. <br /><br />It looks to me like the face was patched (rather clumsily) to satisfy a client's taste. Did Fawcett do it? Once a client asked Fawcett to modify his illustration of Napoleon's face. Fawcett refused to do it, and when the client insisted, Fawcett took back the illustration and told the client he should start fresh with someone else. <br /><br />It's pretty clear that Fawcett didn't care as much about this ad, so it's hard to tell if he did a haphazard job or if the art director had someone patch it.David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-9348399509294945992011-12-16T10:57:43.238-05:002011-12-16T10:57:43.238-05:00Though it ran a year later this looks to be the or...Though it ran a year later <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/104843871720362761374/TruthInTheBrightLightOfDay#5686753221475415602" rel="nofollow">this looks</a> to be the original face.
