For the tax on hollow tubes of paper.
Pan-American Exposition Issue: 2c Train
Issued: 1901
Just picked up the December issue of Philadelphia Magazine to check out an illustration I did, my first for Philly Mag! The article is about the public’s reaction to high ticket prices at a recently-opened live performance venue.
This issue also includes a great full-page illustration by another Tyler alum, Scotty Reifsnyder, so keep an eye out for this one.
14c American Indian
Issued: May 1, 1923
Designer: Clair Aubrey Huston

Trivia: Image based on De Lancey Gill’s photograph of Hollow Horn Bear (1850-1913), a Brule Sioux.

Knife Fight and I have been doing a lot more mid-day snuggling since my studio building got shut down last month. Cross your fingers that our landlord will be able to make all the necessary changes to open it back up, hopefully without spiking our rent. In the meantime, bun and I have some sketches to do.
