Cartoon and Pen and Ink Drawing time again- all from older Motorcycle magazines...
Posted by car 2011 at 9:47 PMAs I mentioned in an earlier blog.. graphic art has changed dramatically with computer and digital cameras…. lets go back again to an age 
when graphic artists, cartoonists and the like, armed with pen, ink and pencil recorded the images of the day in concert with the film camera.
when graphic artists, cartoonists and the like, armed with pen, ink and pencil recorded the images of the day in concert with the film camera. There is huge skill in recording engineering drawings and visual scenes of the day…
This form of recording seemed to die out after WW2, with perhaps the exception of cartoons.
So I want to share with you in this and forthcoming blogs, the skill of the artists… Jock Leyden, George Beresford, Hugh Grimes to name a few, whose work graced the pages of “The MotorCycle” and “MotorCycling” in the 1920s and 1930s……
