! Why is There No Illustration History Textbook? Blog reader Corey sent me the following question: “I just graduated with my BFA, but I never got much of an education on illustration.
Through your blog and others I've been slowly discovering artists like Howard Pyle, Winsor McCay, R.O. Blechman and on and on. It's been a pot luck of art history for me. I've been looking for a more comprehensive collection of illustrators, so I can create some sort of time table for all of these artists and see the landmarks I might have missed. Dear Corey, The short answer is that to my knowledge there is no good standard illustrated textbook on the history of illustration, at least not in the USA. There are a few books that come close. Another book comes very close: 200 Years of American Illustration, by Henry C. There’s also the Susan Meyer's book “Great American Illustrators,” which spotlights ten great illustrators, mostly from the Golden Age.
A complete history of American illustration needs to be compiled and written. How far back should it go? The History of Illustration Project.

Jack Kirby’s ‘Lord Of Light’ Designs For The Project That Inspired ‘Argo’ If you’ve been to a movie theater in the past few months, you’re probably at least passingly familiar with the plot of Argo, the award-winning film directed by Ben Affleck about the CIA’s daring rescue of diplomats involving a fake movie.
It was based on a true story, and one of the more interesting aspects of that story, as I’ve written about before, was the involvement of the King of Comics, Jack Kirby. Kirby’s designs for a movie based on Roger Zelazny’s Lord of Light were used to back up the cover story, and if you’ve never seen them, they are every bit as wild as you can imagine, full of Kirby’s signature style and grandeur.One of the more interesting things about Kirby’s Lord of Light designs was that they were meant to serve two purposes. They’d be built as the movie sets, but after filming, Barry Geller planned to turn them into Science Fiction Land, a theme park in Colorado.

Taiwan Panorama- Lee Yusan: The Force Behind the Jimmy Liao Brand. Jimmy Liao is a Taiwanese author of il-lustrated books that have inspired numerous play, film, TV drama, and animated film adaptations over the past decade.
Action figures based on the main characters in his picture books, reproductions of his illustrations, and other licensed products are part of a cultural phenomenon that generates more than NT$1 billion in annual sales in Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, and even as far away as Europe and America. Lee Yusan was born in the 1970s, during Taiwan's economic takeoff. Thanks to her unique vision and Jimmy Liao's creative genius, the two were spared a trial-and-error period such as the one that was so evocatively portrayed in Jimmy's book A Chance of Sunshine and formed a collaborative partnership that has brought Jimmy's art onto the global stage. "I don't like people calling me Jimmy's manager!

The film focuses primarily on Eric Fortune, Andrew Bawidamann, and Brian Ewing discussing education, their business model, and the future of Illustration but ultimately asking, what does “Making It” mean to each artist? Andrew Bawidamann, Brian Ewing and Eric Fortune are three excellent artists who are in the middle of their careers. This stage of their journey is the toughest because they’re on the edge of success, “Making IT”. I believe many people in the world can relate to this.

By Maria Popova Last week marked the 183rd birthday of iconic science fiction writer and futurist Jules Verne, who coined the term “imaginary voyages.”
(And Amazon celebrated by offering a slew of his work as free ebooks, which you can still grab.) Today, we turn to the beautiful mid-century illustration of Peter P. Plasencia for Franz Born’s 1964 book Jules Verne: The Man Who Invented the Future — a light but excellent biography of the great novelist and a powerful primer for his literary legacy. Jules Verne: The Man Who Invented the Future is currently out of print, but you might be able to snag it from several independent sellers through Amazon or look for a copy at yoru local library — the screen doesn’t do Plasencia’s artwork justice.

By Maria Popova Two classic masters of the macabre and wonderful, together.
Beloved mid-century illustrator Edward Gorey — grim alphabetician, masterful letter-writer, dispenser of visual snark, semi-secret sort-of-pornographer — was born on this day in 1925. During his seven-year stint living in New York City between 1953 and 1960, he worked at the Doubleday art department — which also employed young Andy Warhol — and illustrated a number of books by famous mainstream authors, including the T. Alice in Wonderland Illustrated by Ralph Steadman: A 1973 Gem. By Maria Popova Down the rabbit hole of creative magic, one truly mad hatter at a time. In the century and a half since Lewis Carroll met little Alice Liddell and imagined around her his Alice in Wonderland, the beloved tale has inspired a wealth of stunning artwork, ranging from John Tenniel’s original illustrations to Leonard Weisgard’s mid-century masterpieces to Salvador Dalí’s little-known heliogravures to Robert Sabuda’s pop-up magic.
But among the most singular and weirdly wonderful is the 1973 gem Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland Illustrated by Ralph Steadman (public library; Abe Books). Barely in his mid-thirties at the time, the beloved British cartoonist — best-known today for his collaborations with Hunter S. Thompson and his unmistakable inkblot dog drawings — brings to Carroll’s classic the perfect kind of semi-sensical visual genius, blending the irreverent with the sublime.
