Hans. I like things. This is where I (re)blog about them. College is a thing I'm doing right now. I suffer from anglophilia. Socal native. Synesthete. That's pretty much it.

Happy Birthday, J.C. Leyendecker (March 23, 1874 - July 25, 1951)
“No Golden Age artist made more of an impact than J.C. Leyendecker. With his instantly recognizable style, and his proclivity for self-promotion, he influenced the art of illustration immeasurably. He became a mentor to an entire generation of younger artists - most notably Norman Rockwell, who modeled his own career and technique on Leyendecker’s. His powerful, iconic images, the blockbusters of those halcyon days, depicted a lifestyle that resonated with millions of viewers and came to symbolize American culture. He transformed society with the turn of a single page in a magazine.”
