A Blast from Boris' Past


This is a true vintage illustration that I did in 1965. At the time I had a job doing illustrations for a chain of department stores. Not terribly exciting, but it gave me a good feeling for detail and lots of patience. This one was somewhat more interesting than the usual pen and ink drawings that I would do on a daily basis since it was in tempera. Woopy doo!!

Thank you so much for posting this! Ever since I heard about Boris' early career I felt curious about those non-fantasy paintings of yore. Also I think it's great to be reminded that one can learn a lot about art even while working with subject matter that would not be one's first choice to work with.
