Book tip

Graphic design for the swiss chemical company Geigy from 1940 to 1970. A must have for the graphic designer...

Keep it in the family

A few illustrations created by my father (Freek van Vliet). He worked for an advertising agency, doing commercial advertising work. Also, he created a lot of book illustrations throughout his career (from the 50's to his death in 1989). These are just a few of those illustrations (from the 60's and 70's)...

Deadly Dames

These are just a few of the 600 + paperback covers created by Robert Maguire in his long career which spanned 5 decades. He is one my favorite (if not THE favorite) paperback artists from the golden age (50's/60's). One of my alltime favorite Maguire covers is "dead, man, dead" (great title also).

Check out the great new book "Dames, dolls & gun molls" by Jim Silke, Illustration magazine no. 3 (with an almost complete listing of all his covers) and the great website about Maguire run by his daughter (www.ramaguirecoverart.com).
