Happy Birthday, J.C. Leyendecker (March 23, 1874 - July 25, 1951)
“No Golden Age artist made more of an impact than J.C. Leyendecker. With his instantly recognizable style, and his proclivity for self-promotion, he influenced the art of illustration immeasurably. He became a mentor to an entire generation of younger artists - most notably Norman Rockwell, who modeled his own career and technique on Leyendecker’s. His powerful, iconic images, the blockbusters of those halcyon days, depicted a lifestyle that resonated with millions of viewers and came to symbolize American culture. He transformed society with the turn of a single page in a magazine.”
(J.C. Leyendecker: American Imagist by Laurence S. Cutler & Judy Goffman Cutler)
Gods of Small Things is an exploration of hidden deities and the worlds they inhabit. Gods of Seeds and Fallen Fruit, of Newts, Embers, Raindrops and Dropped Change; These are just some early character ideas I wanted to throw out of my head with watercolor.
Lovely background textures from Lost and Taken.
