This comprehensive sketch for John Wayne's final film gives us a rare glimpse into Amsel's artistic process. For every polished, final one-sheet there are many, many studies and sketches

                       
Watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, colored pencils, gouache and gold paint on board

I reread the RFP “call for proposals” information sheet for the new fire station. Apparently they are considering an artwork for a wall above some double doors as well. So, I redesigned my monkey sculpture to be a bas-relief. The Mrs still thinks it would be an inappropriate memorial.

Public Art Commissions: An Artist Handbook is a publication of the North Carolina Arts Council and is a good resource if you’re interested in pursuing your own public art commission.

Norman Rockwell preliminary study for magazine cover

    This was down- loaded from the Illustration House website

NORMAN ROCKWELL

Group of men at luncheon counter listening to radio.

Preliminary study for magazine cover, Saturday Evening Post, 1944; Oil on board, 10.25 x 10.25", initialed lower right

Estimate: $50,000 - 70,000

This idea of Rockwell's for a Post cover was ultimately not used. In this well-documented case, it was decided that it was unclear that the subject of the image was sound, a notoriously difficult idea for an illustrator to get across.

Condition - Very good: not varnished; matted and framed.

This idea of Rockwell's for a Post cover was ultimately not used. In this case, the editors and artist agreed that it was unclear that the subject of this painting was the sound of the radio, a notoriously difficult idea for an illustrator to get across. We also reproduce a photo of a charcoal drawing of this subject, showing Rockwell's process of rearranging various elements to improve the composition.

Animated Clips

For today’s special feature we have two fantastic animated clips. The first one is for all you animated musicians and musicians that are animated. It is a wonderful jaunt through music history.

The second is for all you hip cats or cats who are hip.

 Both of these have a synthesis of great drawing, music, animation and color.
