James Dwyer, Part 1

Posted on 13:00 by Unknown
My teaching duties this semester at the college have really had me tied up! Finding the time to get new posts together for Today's Inspiration has really been a struggle...

So I'm going to have to take a new tack: I'll have to cut back on my research and writing for a while until I can sort out my schedule so things are a bit more manageable. You'll still be able to get a daily dose of visual inspiration -- but you won't be hearing much about those visuals from me.

Hey, that could turn out to be a blessing, eh?

To satisfy those who are curious about the artists I'll be showcasing, I'm going to try to feature mostly those artists about whom you can read elsewhere. James Dwyer, for instance.

Dwyer was the subject of an article in Illustration magazine #5 which, thanks to the generosity of publisher/editor Dan Zimmer, you can now read online for free here.

So drop by each day for some new, inspiring mid-century illustrations...

... and I'll return when I can with some new, (hopefully inspiring) related text!
