    why yes, Lo, now that you mention it, i am. :D

    there's a story.

    the first real home that my daughter and i had after we found our new family was in a bus. the bus was owned by "Quince" (don't ask) whose great-uncle was a fairly famous illustrator in the late 40's and early 50's.

    Red, did you ever meet Joe DeMers? Quince had this huge collection of old magazines with his g-uncle's and other's illustrations featured prominently. He was going to toss the stack of mags, but i snagged them and cut out the colourful illustrations. I papered the ceiling and walls of the cubby we slept in with them.

    i really liked Whitmore's illustrations (DeMer's not so much..a bunch of pinup girls, etc), and most of the ceiling (less than a meter from our heads when we were in bed) was covered with his work.

    :) i used to make up stories about those people and tell them to my little girl, and... Coby Whitmore taught me to draw. laying in bed, looking at his work, i learned so much, starting with the thought "i could do that".

    :( much later, i set fire to the bus, but that's another story.

    i'm really stoked to pass on my heartfelt thanks and convey my admiration of Red's father.

    *HUG*

    Wow, Mick!!! That's an awesome revelation, that someone you met online, far, far away from your physical location and unrelated to your circumstance has an actual connection to you in your real life!

    The internets are too cool!
  • ^ six degees i guess

    mick, yeah i new joe fairly well as our families both moved to the same island, a then tiny community. i actually have a few of his daughter dani's pieces in my home, she's quite good (my brother got the original by joe that hung in our family home ;-[ ).
    i disagree with you about joe however, for one i love pinups, but more so i think that he was a real talent both as an illustrator and later as an artist. i looked around for some of his more interesting stuff on the net but found too little.

    i did find this which is good but not that representitive. in my eys his real strengths were innovative color usage and compostion.demers

    Wow, wonderful story Mick. What a colourful life you have led...

    though I must say I am interested to hear about the bus burning ~grin~

    Red... those pictures ARE really strong. ;) the pinups is all i had, and while colourful, weren't as compelling for me. 6 degrees is right. :) i know nothing about your dad other than the work in front of my nose all those years. there was one picture of children skipping along some railroad tracks that generated an extensive (and memorable to this day) series of stories. i get warm fuzzies just reading his name; there are memories evoked. *blink back a tear*

    heh..Lo. yes. with more than a dozen parents, all skilled musicians and craftspeople, who traveled in a caravan 6-9 months of the year, i'd say that colourful sums it up nicely. *nod*


    yes indeedy, GearedUp. the internets are absolutely cool.
    ............

    now.. back to awesome illustrations... :D


    fail cow

    i was going to stick this in the "fail" thread, but it's way too sweet and clean for that.
