Vernon Grant

 

During the “Golden Years of Illustration,” a period between the late 1910s and the 1940s, the art of illustrators dominated the advertising and magazine cover markets.  Only the best illustrators were chosen to do covers.  Vernon Grant was one of the best and most prolific.  He combined his humor, life’s experiences, and keen observation skills to captivate millions of magazine readers.  Vernon Grant illustrated the covers and interior drawings for seventeen different magazines.  

One of my favorites from "The Golden Years".   His work seemed like the cartoon counterpart to Maxfield Parrish.

I've never been happy with my Photoshop paintings until I got a few tips from the Great Joseph Tangonan.

Still trying to perfect a 3D object with a 2D texture. Creating a UV and mapping it isn't the problem; it's matching the style of the 2D collaborator(s). My good friend, and a mind-blowing Photoshop painter, Joseph Tangonan gave me some invaluable help today.
