In the last blog I gave you a sampling of Harry's work. He is inspirational to many as his talents embrace a multitude of mediums, a plethora of subjects both traditional, comic and strange. Mad Magazine has bought his ideas; Sick Magazine has featured both his art and writings. His paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in galleries in New York, Chicago, Detriot, and Harbor County as well as in Paris, France where he lived for several years. His graphic designs have been featured in magazines and television by advertising agencies around the world. He was art director on the Chevrolet account at the Campbell Ewald Agency. He eventually turned down offers to work in the lucrative field of art direction so that he could continue the hands on work of art design and fine art.
This prolific artist has extended his talents to writing numerous books about traditional, digital, and mixed media techniques. Early in his career he taught at the Center for Creative Studies in Detriot, Michigan and now occasionally teaches art seminars. As we saw in the previous blog, he also enjoys designing controversial posters with universal truths. I'm including some of his humorous work and a couple of his more recent books. In my next post I'll tell you a little about our romance as we visit Puerto Vallarta and include some of his wonderful watercolor paintings and fun photos. Have a super day!
And of course he loves his cats. Here's one of a series of cartoons featuring Tiff, Jpeg, and Laura.
Harry has written several books, many of which have been used in art classes over the years. He often receives an email from an art student who used his books in school. His later books include digital work and humor about the art world.
