Very Interesting For An Old

I Used To Sit In The Studio With A Copy Of The (saturday Evening) Post Laid Across My Knees ... And Then I'd Conjure Up A Picture Of Myself As A Famous Illustrator And Gloat Over It, Putting Myself In Various Happy Situations, Surrounded By Admiring Females, Deferred To By Office Flunkies At The Magazines, Wined And Dined By The Editor.

Some People Have Been Kind Enough To Call Me A Fine Artist. I've Always Called Myself An Illustrator. I'm Not Sure What The Difference Is. All I Know Is That Whatever Type Of Work I Do, I Try To Give It My Very Best. Art Has Been My Life.

Some Folks Think I Painted Lincoln From Life, But I Haven't Been Around That Long. Not Quite.

Right From The Beginning, I Always Strived To Capture Everything I Saw As Completely As Possible.

I Just Wanted To Do Something Important.
