Excerpts and a few images from Chapter 1: "Bright Circles and Swirls"

At the age of four, Don began to draw - circles and swirls in bright colored crayon that assumed shapes only he could see. As he grew into a man, his love-affair with art deepened. After graduating from the Art Center College in Los Angeles in 1953, Don moved himself and his new wife (and former Art Center classmate) Betty Jane Brown to New York in 1953. There, his career as an illustrator lasted more than two decades.



While at the Cooper Studios, Don worked on a variety of projects, such as this newspaper ad for Thomas' English Muffins published in 1958. View Entire Image in a new window
