Mid-Century Modern for WSJ
posted: December 17, 2012

Eileen O'Donnel at the Wall Street Journal called last week for some illustrations for their Books of the Year review. The list of books wasn't set yet, so she just asked for some images about books and reading. There's no big idea here, just find a style that could work. I sent her a bunch of drawings of people sitting in modern chairs reading and some Saul Bass-Art Goodman inspired lettering.

Thanks Paul for sharing these, I am keeping the paper more for your art than the book list!

My favorite things! Reading, mid-century chairs! I want... Prints? A calendar? I cut them out of the WSJ, but some are back-to-back, and the newsprint shows through. Please!

Looks great! Must be fun to draw famous furniture!

Smart minds think alike. Some good reading curled up in a Saarinen Womb Chair and Ottoman with a napping kitty was also something I came up with for National Geographic Kids a few years ago:
