ARTIST LINDA TILLMAN

I love to look at the commercial art and graphics of the Mid Century era.  In this current age of photography and computer generated design, we forget that hand drawn art was such a part of the everyday scene.  As an artist it is disappointing that there are now so few outlets for creative painting.  I wish Mad Men had a sequel more about the art department and the art scene at that time.

Here is a link to a terrific site with some examples of album covers from the Mid Twentieth Century.  Clever design, very little photography.
