"...There are, however, some designers and even clients who insist that the public deserve and will respond to much higher standards in graphics. They are convinced, as Charlie Chaplin was convinced, that the best way to entertain the public is to first entertain oneself."

Charlie Allen — Back in the days

Posted: August 26th, 2009 | Author: Iancu | Filed under: illustration | Tags: | 3 Comments »

Mr. Charlie Allen, an old time illustrator (born the same year as my grandpa, 1922), shows some wonderful work, along with some interesting stories from the times when everything was made in the good old fashioned way: by hand.

I simply love this one:
