Bo Hampton Print

Here's a nice photo print of a piece by Bo Hampton. I'm not sure exactly when I got this, probably the late 1980's. Bo was active in the 1980's doing work for Eclipse Comics science fiction and horror anthologies. He also did a nice Legend of Sleepy Hollow graphic novel for Tundra in 1993. According to his Wikipedia entry, he seems to be doing storyboard and animation work now.

Frank Brunner's Alice in Wonderland

Frank Brunner's Alice in Wonderland portfolio was released in 1977 in a signed, limited edition of 1000. It used to be pretty hard to find on the second-hand market, nowadays you see them around. Please don't look at the images below if you have a problem with black and white drawings of early 1970's Playboy type nudity.

History: Cream of Wheat Style

Cream of Wheat employed some of the best artists of the day to produce their advertising art. The company is also famous for the character "Chef Rastus" and sometimes demeaning depictions of African-Americans.

We have neither of those here. These illustrations are for Cream of Wheat ads, but they're by an unknown artist and depict scenes from American history. Probably from the 1930's.
