These posters will be included, I’m sure. Until now, all we’ve had is a rather cumbersome slide archive. The plan is to make the entire collection available on the Society’s website. I’m sure it will take a while, as is the nature of most largely volunteer run non-profits, but it will be very exciting when it finally gets together. In fact, there is a big push to make the collection more available in general - more exhibits at the Society, more traveling exhibits, this digital library, and more printed materials. <BR/><BR/>Anthony - send me a jpg and link when your pulp is ready! Which convention are you going to.<BR/><BR/>Howard (Lyon) - New York living! Actually, any member of the Society of Illustrators can volunteer to do just about anything they are willing to see through. The place has a skeleton staff that keeps things moving, but it’s up to the membership to really dictate what the Society will be and what it will offer. Anyone with an interest should join and jump in!Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1155569317417833742006-08-14T11:28:00.000-04:002006-08-14T11:28:00.000-04:00so completely and totally jealous.so completely and totally jealous.Howard Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978302312790244145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1155467378021404922006-08-13T07:09:00.000-04:002006-08-13T07:09:00.000-04:00I really hope there's a movement to digitize those...I really hope there's a movement to digitize those WWI posters and make them availible to the public.

I'm doing layout on a new pulp novel (The second Captain Hazzard, and old pulp character brought back), as well as my own pulp. The illustration has just begun on my own and we're hoping to have a cover before a con we're getting a table at in November.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some great reprints. You know there might have been a battle of the slicks and the pulps back in the day but I can only imagine how they looked in print. I'm starting to really get into that era.Anthony Schiavinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118112386664621169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1155306773065724032006-08-11T10:32:00.000-04:002006-08-11T10:32:00.000-04:00Hi Susan,That's funny, the Society just aquired a ...Hi Susan,<BR/><BR/>That's funny, the Society just aquired a nice Andy Warhol drawing while I was there the other day.<BR/><BR/>If I ever get my "adventure" show in the can (which seems likely, just not imminent) then I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip! In the meantime, the Society has a number of shows that travel the country throughout the year. I should have them send the Warhol Museum some info on them.<BR/>http://www.societyillustrators.org/museum/shows/index.cms<BR/><BR/>The "Historical Look" exhibit will be at the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design from the end of August until Oct 21. <BR/>http://www.pcad.edu/<BR/>I saw some of this show while it was being packed up...and I'm jealous it's not hanging in New York!Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1155259523799501592006-08-10T21:25:00.000-04:002006-08-10T21:25:00.000-04:00Irene, your idea for a show reminded me of some of...Irene, your idea for a show reminded me of some of the shows that the Andy Warhol Museum here in Pittsburgh has done.

I'm telling you, those colors were amazing. It puts all of modern day printing to shame. It must have been amazing to see these posters hanging around railroad station and such...especially in a time before color photography and movies.Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1155217878382553832006-08-10T09:51:00.000-04:002006-08-10T09:51:00.000-04:00I absolutely love those old posters. I have books ...I absolutely love those old posters. I have books of old poster art and can't get enough of them. There was just such a sense of design back them that I think has been lost down through the years. Maybe it's the fact we have so many choices available now, and canned fonts, so that there's no thinking in what we have to do outside of asking ourselves...serif or sans serif?<BR/><BR/>We just don't have that design sense anymore. People can't believe my "pulp style" and ask where I've learned things from considering my age. Well along with not thinking people just don't take the time to do decent research even though today it's all right there at the touch of a button!<BR/><BR/>I've also come across magazines printed in other countries and what people can do overseas on newsprint puts our glossies to shame.<BR/><BR/>I would have loved to see it all as well!Anthony Schiavinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118112386664621169noreply@blogger.com
