j.c. leyendecker

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i wish i still lived in fullerton. then i could see a show of my 2nd favorite illustrator j c leyendecker (first is n. c. wyeth).
this guy rules. everything looks like its made out of silk and gold. they never show him anywhere. norman rockwell wished he was him. according to another blog rockwell wanted to know what brushes he used, if he painted standing or sitting and every detail about his technique.
even his signature is brilliant.
the show is going on now at the fullerton musem. it's not coming here till 09. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

P.S. here's one of his paintings that came up in my google search. this is ...well...um...wow.
