Joe Isom Illustrates The Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam
via Today's Inspiration http://ift.tt/1ibnsRi
I found a remarkable little book at a local thrift shop last week. Published by Hallmark Cards Inc. in 1967, it's beautifully illustrated throughout by an artist named Joe Isom.
(Above; the dust jacket image and below, the hardcover artwork)
"Chester Joe Isom Jr. grew up in Kansas City and started his freelance career at Hallmark among other great artists/friends of the time. He worked as a freelance illustrator for over 35 years. In November of 2000, our dad passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 58." ~ Matthew Isom (Joe Isom's son)
Thanks to Dave Groff for locating the brief biographical information above, originally posted in a comment on this blog.

The Tools Artists Use blog is taking a break, but the most recent post points out that Teoh Yi Chie of Parka Blogs (which I […]

Green River Cliffs, Wyoming, Thomas Moran On Wikimedia Commons. Original is in the National Gallery of Art, DC. The most striking of Moran’s dramatic paintings of the American West —which is saying something. For more, see my post on Thomas Moran.
