This Week Magazine Vacation Guide 1949

This Week Magazine: Vacation Guide, 1949. No mention of illustrator. Lowell Hess, perhaps?

This is a wonderful cover to a rather dull magazine. It's one of those informational publications, with no ads - actually, it says that This Week is part of The Sunday Magazine, "issued jointly by 24 big city American newspapers."

Things to consider: I love the way that the artist sets the family apart from the background by creating a light source directed on them. See the cast shadow? Also, I love how there's a story being told with the dog interested in something off-camera left. Check out how each family member's pose moves from left to right as you go from dog, kid, mother, father: a nice triangle grouping. Genius!

Okay, I'll let you see it larger.

Ava: Candy Kitties

It's been a long time since I've last shared with you a drawing by my daughter, Ava. She drew this on Sunday, obviously during that glorious post-Halloween glow. She's been getting into cats lately. She really really really wants a cat.

Check it out larger.

Oh, and I've been blogging for five years. Can you believe it?

Good Halloween Fun 1

From Billy's Neighbors, a reading textbook by Follett Publishing Company. Authors are Alta McIntire & Wilhelmina Hill. Illustrated by the very talented Janet LaSalle. ©1957; this edition, 1962.

If I could scan this entire book, I would. Illustrated on almost every single page, filled with incredible artwork by Janet LaSalle. I've talked about Janet before. (See this set for her earlier style, and this.) Just check her stuff out. Amazing talent.
