Mick Brownfield - Illustrator

This week I decided to look at some more of one of the illustrators from our "Thinking Visually" book - Mick Brownfield.

The first image I have included is one that is actually in our book. It's called "Cocktail Bar". The image caught my eye partially because of the retro looking surrounding and her long purple gloves. I just really like the way the image is put together.

The second image I have is from his website. It was in his Advertising section. I thought that this was kind of different way to address the "free" aspect of advertising. He just simply puts it in the steam. But, you've got the starry night depicted there, & who wouldn't want a nice cup of warm cocoa (Ovaltine) before going to bed.

Most of you are too young to even know who W.C. Fields was, but, I loved this image. It's on a postcard series Brownfield did & I think it is a Great depiction of Fields. It captures his persona perfectly! Note the mask in the background is pretty much his face & not a disguise at all.
I included this one simply because I love just about everything snow related - sledding, snowmen.
