An "Illostribute" to Al Dorne

Posted on 11:06 by Unknown
One of my favourite illustrators, Albert Dorne, is the subject of a tribute on one of my favourite blogs, Toby Neighbors' Illostribute.

Toby describes the Illostribute concept as "a new, collaborative illustration blog. The idea is to pay tribute to “master” illustrators (and occasionally fine artists) by seriously investigating their work, through interpretation."

Toby has posted many great examples of Dorne's work (I'm happy I was able to help out with that)...

... he wrote a great biographical synopsis on Dorne...

... and his contributors created some wonderful, original interpretations of Al Dorne's work (as they always do each time Toby devises a new "Illostribute").
