He was an adverising exec on Madison Avenue in the 50s and 60s. Professionally trained in art at the Cornish School in Seattle, Washington. He has 2 paintings in the Smithsonian Institute in the Navy collection from the WW2 era. We have many original cartoon drawings in our family as well as fine art paintings. He designed many campaigns in the 1960s such as Folgers Mr. Coffee Bean and the original 1967 Camaro ads. I don't know where you found this but I've never seen it and it certainly is pretty cool! It was probably a hobby or fun gig, I didn't catch the date. He was always drawing these for friends and family-- and believe me they made the best birthday cards ever.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to burst your bubble about the insurance salesman/electrician theory. He died in 1992, leaving behind a legacy as a talented local artist as well as a beautiful home in Marin.<BR/><BR/>samkeeler@gmail.comShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522025131679012036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573514568417810856.post-6845724147745522722007-11-06T18:06:00.000-08:002007-11-06T18:06:00.000-08:00Hi, Jay!

When you do your search, make sure you put his name in quotes and add the word "comics" (out of the quotes).<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, check out this link. You have to sign up to see it, but it looks like there was some original art for sale last year:<BR/><BR/>http://comics.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=16114&Lot_No=16573&src=pr<BR/>-JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
