Ah.. the love of old illustrated books!!!
|
I have one of the largest personal collections of the art of Franklin Booth (1874-1948) in the United States. Considered by many to be one of the most important talents in the field of illustration, Franklin Booth inspired generations with his work. He imitated the woodblock printing techniques of the late 1800’s in the development of his style, and with his pen created fresh and unique images. My collection is featured in a newly-published book from Manuel Auad. You can check it out at www.auadpublishing.com.
I am also a collector of Bernie Wrightson who illustrated Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, considered to be on of the most beautifully illustrated books of the last century. Wrightson was greatly influenced by the art of Franklin Booth.
I worked for Federal Express in Operations and Sales for over 16 years. Now I am a professional umpire and track and field official for high school, NCAA, travel, and open events
I also am a substitute teacher for special education individuals (moderate/severe).
