He did amazing movie poster illustrations and was of the same generation as Bob Peak. His one sheets included 'The Great Escape', 'Zorba The Greek', 'In The Heat Of The Night', 'How To Succeed In Business' and many more.Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-65267606368243406682010-09-10T09:22:36.683-04:002010-09-10T09:22:36.683-04:00Spoiled, yes it does look like Ms Cruz!
Jules, Co...Spoiled, yes it does look like Ms Cruz!<br /><br />Jules, Commercial art is one of my faves also, there is so much range and styles that we can all realte to.<br /><br />Cote, I do so agree with you. Computerized artwork just does not carry the same punch.<br /><br />Mark, thanks fo your comments and visiting my blog. One of the true great commercial artists.<br /><br />MR SWF, you made me laugh with the use of the word "pad". It conjured up all sorts of images!David Tomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181690917362173400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-38624389126083420812010-09-09T00:58:24.425-04:002010-09-09T00:58:24.425-04:00Very informative.

The look is crisp, modern and bold, and he is a brilliant colourist. I also like that the style is representational and clear. It is easy to see why he was so popular and had such a long career. I would call him the Henry Mancini of illustration....<br /><br />I wonder what his "pad" looked like! I'll bet it had a bar and was very cool.<br /><br />Thank youSquare with Flairhttp://squarewithflair.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-14929328679290727932010-09-08T11:14:21.424-04:002010-09-08T11:14:21.424-04:00Bob Peak's illustrating style was distinctive,...Bob Peak's illustrating style was distinctive, and his use of color was bold. It's hard to imagine today how much he transformed illustration and advertising. I still look at movie posters, particularly the montages designed for epics, and think - Bob Peak! Thanks for all these great images! ... MarkMark D.
