So I’ve reported to you that I visited St. Simon’s Island GA, and taught a couple of classes and all. Did I tell you that I got to visit with Jack Davis and his family just a little bit?
They’re gracious and wonderful people. His wife is a wonderful lady. They’re terrific hosts, and their children and grandchildren are finer folks than you usually get to meet.
…And I totally peeked in Mr. Davis’ studio and took a shot of his Reuben Award (see if you can spot it in the photo) and his drawing table.
And if you don’t already really know who Jack Davis is, or don’t appreciate all the amazing work he’s done for all these decades, well, I think you need to Google or Bing or whatever your favorite search engine is and check it out. Chances are you’ll hit a few magazine covers or MAD magazine/comic illustrations, or movie posters, or book covers, or something that’ll make you say, “Hey! I remember seeing that!” Or, “I had a copy of that” or some similar thing.
Always fun to see another artist’s lair. 🙂
Way cool! Did you get to talk to him about anything? Did he ask you to sign his award?
RIP, Jack Davis
Mr. Jack is alive and well at last report, though a week after the art show, his dog did pass away.
I went back to double-check. The internet rumor of Jack’s demise is still just that, apparently.
Say… I’ve gone in a few times to put an avatar on here and never worked out how to do it. How do I put an avatar on here? I’m tired of being a Fisher-Price Silhouette.
If I figure that out I’ll share the info, if you figure out out, lemme know. As it is this way I don’t have to shave or floss for my avatar mug shot at least, and I can look just as handsome as you, Greg.
I’m pretty sure that your Hubris site is tied in with the WordPress blog system. If you have a WordPress account, just log in to that and change your profile. Otherwise, choose to enter a comment here. Next to the name for the comment you’ll see the link “Get a Gravatar”. A gravatar is a WordPress avatar. You’ll be taken to the Gravatar page, and you’ll probably have to create a WordPress account. Regardless, you should be able to select the image you want to use for your user icon then.
eh, Greg, when can I move in? 😀
I’ll clean up if the rent is free.
I don’t think they let Canadians in Georgia. Unless they’re using the airport in Atlanta. At the airport in Atlanta, I think they’re trying to get EVERYONE in the WORLD in there. At once. Sort of a Guinness Book of World Records thing.
Hey, look. My Gravatar started workin! Thanks TSOJ!
