DICK STONE
Illustrations From the Fifties
It was a delight to discover, some years back, that I had been included in the book The Illustrator in America (a visual reference work detailing the history of modern American illustration from 1860-2000). It was also a delight to discover, some years back, that I had been included in the blog, "Today's Inspiration"—the blog of Leif Peng (cartoonist, illustrator, and authority on illustrators and cartoonists of the mid-twentieth century ("An Original Dick Stone", "Calling Dick Stone", "Dick Stone, Collier's...and Sickles", "Dick Stone: "Illustration..."")).
In early 2017, my wife, Barbara, was organizing the basement when she came upon a few old portfolios containing some of the illustrations I had done during my career. Remembering the blogs of Leif Peng, we decided it would be fun to show my illustrations. I hope you enjoy seeing samples of what I did so many years ago.
