THE COMIC ART OF JACK DAVIS HD
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Jack Davis is best known for his large volume of work for Mad magazine, and undoubtedly the comedic images he produced over several decades constitute some of the most entertaining and visually appealing in its long illustrious history. But it was by no means his only vehicle of expression. He has been a personal favourite of mine since my early teens, so I have particularly enjoyed this revealing trawl through his back catalogue and hope you get even half as much pleasure watching the video as I got making it.
Season's greetings and thanks for your dedication to the cause. See you in 2024.

One of my all-time favorites growing up in the '60s and '70s.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation.
@@petebeard Is that typeface at the beginning based on the lettering of Dave Gibbons? It looks very like his.
@@petebeard What a marvellous tribute. Jack is also one of my own favourites, aside from Mort. When I did caricature commissions, I am not ashamed to admit that I referred to Jack for inspiration and also Mac and Giles. For getting the exaggerations right, I would use overlay sheets - usually typography paper - and then do the final inking on the light table with a 2 or 3 sable. I rather resent not being able to do that now. Maddeningly, the tremor put paid to such activities.
@@josefschiltz2192 Sorry to take so long replying - I've been on holiday. Pardon my ignorance but I have no idea who Dave Gibbons is/was. The main font is called "Luckiest Guy" which I just downloaded from a free font site and added the outline and drop shadow.
@@petebeard Dave Gibbons is an artist who worked for 2000AD weekly and went on to draw the Doctor Who strips for Marvel. It's just that font looked very much like his lettering style. I recognize it because I did some lettering practice by tracing off his lettering style when I was at college in the 70s.
Hm. Looking online and there is actually a Dave Gibbons font.
I wonder how many people recognize this great artist's work...without knowing his name.
everyone.
That would be me, and I’m sure many others.
@@PalimpsestProdnope. Dont recognize either. Had anti comic parents.
Like me? :D
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment.
Thank you for the beautiful tribute to one of the greatest comic illustrators of all time.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
Growing up in rural South GA, in the 60s hanging around my older brother's friends, when Mad Magazine came out, and we suddenly left behind our world of Superman and Archie comic books to the unbelievably grown up and truly irreverent humor of Mad Magazine, we all thought we had died and gone to heaven! I had no idea until you shared this sketch, that Davis was from Atlanta. No wonder we loved Mad so much!! We were his peeps!!
Hello and many thanks for your enthusiastic appreciation of this video. That's the way I and my likeminded pals felt about Mad magazine. For us over here it was all tied up with Rhythn and Blues music, The Beverley Hillbillies and Untouchables.
Jack Davis was the first artist whose work I recognized as "Hey, that was drawn by That Guy!" He was so prolific, not only for MAD but also illustrating hundreds of movie posters, album covers and commercial illustrations. My personal epiphany occurred in the 1980's when I found an obscure LP by a band called Sail Cat. Decades later, I am still collecting records with Jack Davis covers. Thanks for talking about an artist who profoundly affected my sense of humor.
Hello again and thanks a lot as usual for your comments and appreciation of this video. Good luck with the record hunt. I missed the Sail Cat one in my research.
Jack Davis! Mister MAD! Thank you for putting him in the spotlight!
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
Growing up, my parents refused to let me see MAD magazine and, of course, I had to see what the big deal was. The first thing I saw was one of Jack's movie parodies and was blown away. How could anyone draw this good and be so prohibited? Needless to say, I ignored my parents and the rest, as they say, is history. I can't imagine any illustrator living today that hasn't been influenced in some way by Jack Davis. His humor, craftsmanship and especially his energy is a real inspiration. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Davis at a National Cartoonists Society annual dinner in 1997 I think it was, and he was as charming and humble as one might think. I'll send you my photo with him if I can find it. Thanks Pete, for such a wonderful homage to a great artist. Have a safe and healthy New Year!
I was lucky, I inherited a bunch of old MAD magazines from my older step brother then was buying all that stuff through the 70-80s, unfortunately I lost almost all of it over the years, have a small box with some magazines and have the MAD card game, what I'd give to have all of it back.
Hello again, and although I don't think we had previously discussed his work and influence as such, I sort of guessed you would also be a great admirer of his prodigious talents. Thanks for the appreciation and I hope you have a good 2024.
That’s funny, my mom introduced me to MAD magazine! When I was maybe seven years old we found a giant stack of old issues from the 60s, 70s, and 80s at a yard sale which she remembered
from her childhood and knew I’d be into. Reading that stuff as a kid was absolutely mind blowing.
very good person to remember
Thanks a lot for your comment.
Wow! Another trip through my childhood and teen years. Davis made such an impression on me. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation. You are very welcome.
MASSIVE LEGEND! Supremely talented and versatile. Impossible to realistically estimate the scope and scale of his influence on an entire generation of illustrators and cartoonists from the 20th century and beyond.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. The man was a true comic genius in my book.
Pete Thanks for all the wonderful artists you bring to our attention . All the best to you for 2024
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation. The same to you for the coming year.
Meeting Jack in his home was honestly a highpoint of my life. He was as pleasant and humble as he was talented, if that’s even possible. I wish he was still with us.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but I felt I sort of knew him through the work.
Thank you for putting this together. Jack would have loved it! @@petebeard
A few years ago I found and old unopened Coke bottle with Jacks' illustration of a University of Georgia football player on it. Being one of my favorite artist since the 60s I looked into his recent history. I found he did a lot of work for UGA football and had moved to Georgia near me. I wish I could have met him but , too late. Jack was truly fantastic.
I recently did a painting celebrating UGA's National championship. I added the print Jack did for the 1980 championship as an homage to the best.
@@theartist4252 Now that I remember , was it the bulldog in a uniform + pads?
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
@@petebeard Thanks , love your artist series.
What a walk down memory lane. This 13-minute episode took me more than 55 minutes to finish - pausing the video repeatedly to pore over Davis’ wacky, wonderful artworks.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. And for taking the time to really study the images.
Jack Davies meant a lot to Mad readers the world over (in my case Sweden), believe me! Brilliant technique and endless corrosive humor. Luved it!
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. It's very welcome.
I've seen so many of his magazine covers and other works and never knew they were by the same person. What a phenomenal artist.
Hello and many thanks for your comment. He was a comic genius as far as Im concerned.
What a delight!!! Mr. Davis was indeed a rare talent; you could spend HOURS poring over one of his more complex pieces and say to yourself: : "WHY did I not notice that bit before???" Terrific upload as usual, Mr. Beard.
Hi and thanks a lot for your appreciation of this video.
Excellent episode. Being a 60's child this was the sort of art I grew up with and admired. It was nice to be reminded of a golden period.
Hello again and thanks a lot for your appreciation.
What a gracious tribute, Good Sir!
SO GREAT 📯🌟📯
Thanks for the comment.
Superb illustrations. So expressive and not overworked.
Thanks a lot for the comment. Glad you liked it.
Brought back happy memories of reading MAD magazine as a teenager. Thanks Pete.
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
So great to see people like Jack Davis and Mort Drucker get the recognition they deserve! I grew up reading MAD in the 60's always feeling like it was a lowbrow guilty pleasure. Maybe it was, but thank you for reminding us that it was also great art.
Thanks a lot for your comment and your take on the value of Mad mirrors my own.
Well, that's a wonderful and insightful retrospective of an American great: Jack Davis. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
What me 😯? Worry ? Mad magazine is the way that I was introduced to his work. ❤
Thanks Pete for highlighting his contributions to our enjoyment for so many years.😊He has a unique style that is recognizable and cutting edge in the humorous sense of craziness and bould satiric energies. He was an iconic influence on us all whether we knew it or not. ❤
Hello again and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video. You are always very welcome, and it seems there's a rather large group of us who admire Davis's work immensely
I knew him from Mad magazine in the 60s-70s and recognized his drawings in some of the other areas, but had no idea of just how wide his talent was spread around. Outstanding talent.
Thanks.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. He was undoubtedly one of the true giants of humorous illustration.
Same here. Im glad I kept them although they don’t hold together too well these days
Such an interesting life and body of work! I knew him from "Mad Magazine" - each issue passed around my big family and amongst our friends, until it was tattered! Thank you for this.
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
My favorite former EC Artist.
Mine too. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks Pete WELL done. Jack was a true talent and humble too. I met him and we did a poster together for a talk/showcase of his work in my hometown that I help arrange. A great great man!
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of his work. Thats a nice anecdote about the man himself too.
Terrific! Remember him well!
Thanks a lot - as always - for your appreciation. Happy new year to you too.
Thanks!
You are welcome.
I loved Jack's style. He was a prolific influence on my young, impressionable mind. I would study his technique and try to copy it. Which lead to my own style.
I wish now I would've saved my MAD magazines.
Thanks for the rekindling of memories for his work Pete😀
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Love, Love, Love the work of Jack Davis!!
I've even got a print of his Tarzan work on my wall that he did for Mad magazine.
His character drawings, the way he stylizes his people, and even the body language his models use is unparalleled!
They have just so much personality and dimension. They tell a story without the use of words.
And the layouts he uses really helps emphasize the scene.
Incredible and outstanding work there Jack! Thankyou for helping us all see life from a new angle!
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciaton. And its good to know that you - like quite a few other viewers (and me of course) - really admire his rare talent.
My all time favorite illustrator. The observation about his uniquely American style hadn’t occurred to me before, but it is 100% accurate. Thank you so much for a complete and heartfelt tribute.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. It's very welcome.
What can you say! Just brilliant, master of the illustration art world. Thanks Pete, greatly enjoyed that.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
He’s literally my fave cartoonist of all time! Yayyyy thank you Mr Beard!!
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Thank you, Mr Beard, for showcasing this MASSIVE and prolific talent. I read many of the Mad magazines in the 70s, as a young person, and certainly saw many of Jack's drawings. Such a productive life as an artist.
Thanks for the comment and he was a true giant.
Wonderful! I never paid attention to the name, but after seeing his work in Mad, I’ve recognised his delicious style in many other places. Thank goodness for his irreverent contributions to this mad world.
Hello again and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. You are always welcome.
Thanks, Pete. I have just fallen in love with Jack Davis's art.
Hi and thanks a lot as ever for your comment and appreciation.
LOVE this one! I grew up with lots of his work and never knew he covered so many magazines and themes. Tnx!
Hello again and thanks as ever for your comments and appreciation of this video. I must admit he created a lot of stuff I didn't know about beforehand. What a remarkably talented man.
I love Jack Davis comics. They are all so well drawn and fun to look at.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
@@petebeard You're welcome and merry new years to you.
So great ! Thanks a lot!!
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation. He really is one of my all time heroes.
Υπέροχη, όπως πάντα, ολοκληρωμένη παρουσίαση ενός μεγάλου δημιουργού που μας κράτησε συντροφιά στο Mad, και όχι μόνο. Ένα Μεγάλο ευχαριστώ.💖🍉🇬🇷
Ευχαριστώ όπως πάντα για την εκτίμησή σας
@@petebeard Well...that's easy for YOU to say.
@@Susie_Floozie Thanks for the laughter. Wish I'd thought of it.
Thank you Jack and thank you Pete.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
Quite a bit of my young years featured in this excellent tribute to Jack Davis.
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Wow, have you struck a chord with THIS video! Jack Davis has been a lasting influence on me over the years, too. Whenever I could, my own cartoon work would always be an homage of one sort or another to JD's style and approach. I could easily write an essay on all the times my pathetic little career intersected with his, and many of the samples you showed also remind me of personal anecdotes from the time. In addition to all the many purely humorous cartoons he did, I was equally impressed by the watercolor caricatures he did of famous people, especially for the covers of *Time* that were so technically brilliant. One small indulgence, please: In the early '70s, I worked as an illustrator and comp artist for a studio that serviced ad agencies. One agency had a major homebuilder as a client, and I did marker renderings of double-truck newspaper ads in the style of Jack Davis cartoons. I was told by the AD (perhaps only kindly) that Mr. D enjoyed them very much! (Well, good story, anyway.) Again, Thanks a bunch, Pete!
P.S. You might look into one of Jack's stablemates at EC, Wally Wood, who also had an interesting career outside of "just" comics.
Hello and I did think this one would go down well with you, and I'm glad you responded so enthusiastically. Thanks a lot for the appreciation and anecdote and all I can say about Wally Wood is'maybe down the line'. The list doesn't seem to get any shorter and I'm not getting any younger.
Another Master presentation of a artist that everyone never knew but recognized. What a genius jack Davis was.
Hello again and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. You are always welcome.
Always a pleasure and never a disappointment when you post a video. Davis’ work was everywhere when I was a kid. So glad you highlighted his art
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. It's very welcome.
Pete , thanks so much for this great bio pic. I’ve loved Mr. Davis art since I was a kid in the 1970s. I love art and he was a great inspiration to me .
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
That's an awesome tribute. I grew up with and loved his art all through my childhood and teens. It shaped my sense of humour. Thank you.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. It seems there are even more admirers of his work than I realised, judging by the response.
Thank you for doing a video on this artist, beloved by many.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Thanks again Pete. Such a talented artist. I have seen lots of his work.
Thanks a lot as ever for your comment and appreciation.
Huge fan of Jack Davis! Thank you so much for this one. Your obvious enthusiasm for his work really shone through!
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. It's very welcome.
Thank you for making and posting such a fitting tribute to Jack Davis. He was great.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. You are very welcome.
absolute legend
No argument from me. Thanks for the comment.
I've known his work all my life but never knew anything about him! Thank you, Pete! I loved this!
Then I'm glad to have shone a little light on his remarkable life and work. Thanks as usual for the comment.
Thanks for this, Pete. Jack is an all time favorite of mine. I think he was a genius, along with Wallace Wood, Will Elder, and Harvey Kurtzman. He had the magical knack for making anything funny simply by the way he drew it. Check out the faces, hands, and especially the feet! I loved all of his MAD lampoons of movies and comic strips.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. I think I learned everything about the running figure from his work. Such energy.
👍Thank you.🇬🇧🇵🇹Merry Christmas (much better with your video).
Hi and thanks a lot as usual for your comment and appreciation. I hope you have a happy new year too!
what an impressive output of different genres
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Thank you! Jack Davis did the best caricatures in MAD. And TV Guide. And everywhere else. I'm so glad you included his extravagant poster for Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Thank you so much Pete for this. Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, Mad , Sick and similar magazines were my entertainment . Jack Davis was the master of parody. This really brought back memories.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video. I'm glad the video had you scuttling down memory lane too.
Such a Christmas Gift! Thanks Pete and a Very Happy New Year for you and all this huge followers club!!
Hi and thanks a lot as always for your comment and appreciation. Happy new year to you too!
Sure. I remember his work from Mad Magazine which was a staple in my chilhood. What? Me worry?
Thanks a lot for your comment.
When you read as much MAD MAGAZINE as I did growing up,you are certain to be a fan.
Highly recommended viewing.
100 out of 10.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of this video. You are very welcome, and I must say i like your scoring system.
Prolific hardly seems adequate. His work was everywhere I looked throughout my youth. Thank you for showcasing Jack Davis!
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. You are always very welcome.
I feel lucky to have been a kid in the 70’s during the glorious heyday of Mad Magazine, Marvel and Dc comics. I loved Davis’ work! Amazing. It was only later when i found the Crypt works. Truly a master of his field…
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of his work. I also didn't discover the Tales from the Crypt work until much later.
An excellent tribute. Jack Davis belongs in the pantheon of great, popular culture, artists. Thanks for the work, PB, all the best in the New Year.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video. You are always very welcome. And I hope next year is good to you.
Oh man...what a great look back. So much of what remains of my memory is tied up in images that are directly taken from Jack's work throughout my life. Thanks, and hope you're doing a lot better than that lovely but bedraggled Santa at this video's end...ho ho ho! and Happy New Year. Cheers.
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation for this video - and for watching to the very end, and noticing the xmas reference. Best wishes to you too.
Mort Drucker and Jack Davis were the GOAT! As a cartoonist myself, I must say Davis is a great inspiration, and his body of work is extraordinary! His cartoons reflect a very sound understanding of human and animal anatomy, not just a great imagination and creativeness!
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video. I learned more from studying - and copying - his work than I did in 4 years of art school.
I became familiar with his work, from an early age. My older cousin used to give me his Mad, and Sick comics to read, when I was a kid. I think his work had an influence on my adult life too. My first girlfriend was a buxom blonde, who looked a lot like Annie Fanny.
So it was you stole her from me!
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. My first girfriend looked more like Alfred E.
@@petebeard 🤣
Thank you so much for the work you do! I hope this year has blessed you and that the ones to come do as well. Your channel is a wealth of knowledge and your chronicling of these artists is important. Thank you for deciding to contribute to the world you live in in such a fun and useful way.
Hello and many thanks for your heartfelt response to the channel and my work in makingthe videos. Such appreciation is always very welcome and keeps me motivated.
It may sound a bit excessive, but I honestly feel privileged to have lived during the lives and careers of so many great artists. We have been blessed by so many people, their passion, dedication and art.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. And it doesn't sound excessive at all to me. It's how I feel too.
merry christmas mr. Beard and thank for this video
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.Seasons grettings!
His style was completely unique and appealed to almost everyone. Every cartoonist studied him and wished they could draw like him.
Thanks for your comment, and I was one of those disciples.
I grew up reading MAD magazine. The artwork was mesmerizing, especially the work of Jack Davis. To see him being the subject of your latest video is like a Christmas gift. Thank you for this look back at my childhood.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. You are very welcome.
Thank you for your Jack Davis chronology. I grew up with Mad. Although his caricatures are wonderful, what I loved about his panels are how the foreground and background incidental characters, either static or dynamic, are so beautifully posed and anatomically correct. It led to a sense of realism in cartoonism. In a word, Jack was just fun.
Hello again and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video. Both are very welcome.
Thank you for that fine appreciation of a great artist and humorist!
And thank you for your appreciative comment.
One of the most talented MAD artists! Thanks for posting, my friend - and Happy Holidays to you and your family! 🎅 🎄 ✨️ 🍾
Thanks a lot for your appreciation. And a hopefully happy new year for you too.
Such a wonderful artist. Always enjoyed his work in Mad. Especially his dense and intricate cross-hatching.
Thanks a lot for your comment.Enviable skills with a pen and brush.
He will always be one of my favorite cartoonists, with his loose expressive style like no other.
Hello and thanks a lot for the comment.He was a comic genius as far as I'm concerned.
Back in high school, I once called Jack Davis on the phone. he was very nice to me and gave a lot of really good advice On art and illustration.. Very approachable and a very generous soul. Him and Mort Drucker.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video. That's nice anecdote about the man too.
Some of the greatest illustrations i've ever seen in my life come from Jack Davis...
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video.
Truly one of the best ever in his genre. One of my favourites along with Mort Drucker.
Thanks for the comment, which of course I totally agree with.
Jack Davis is one of the artists who influenced my adventure into graphic design - about 55 years ago. Thanks for the walk down memory road, Pete.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. I just wish more of his benign influence had rubbed off on me.
Peter, beautifully done. It brings back memories when I was in design school in the 1950s all of us young men wanted to draw like Jack Davis with crosshatching pen style. Frank
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of his work. And my small contribution to the video - it's very welcome.
Jack Davis was a hero to aspiring kids during the 70s. Young artist tried to emulate his work, but easier said than done.
Hello again and thanks a lot as usual for your comments and appreciation of this video. I was one of those who aspired to be him but even though I failed he taught me more than art school ever did.
Jack Davis is a great American icon, growing up in the 70-80s his art was everywhere(I didn't know he did the Raid bugs), those movie parodies in MAD are burned into my mind, I also had those Cracked and Sick magazines, I always credit those magazines(and Benny Hill haha) of twisting my humor into what it is today, such a golden time.
Hello again and thanks a lotas usual for your comments and appreciation of this video. I'm very pleased you enjoy his comic work.
12:15 ... when I was a kid I couldn't get enough of Jack Davis! MAD was like a cartoonist's bible!! Of course I also emulated his style (aka aped swiped stole) in college in the '70's ! 😄 It was his use of articulated hand gestures and oversize feet that I liked...along with Drucker he was a master at caricature!!
Thank you, Pete for this extended video!!
Hello again and thanks a lot as usual for your comments and appreciation of this video. The list of those who were members of the "I'll never be as good as Jack Davis but I'm going to give it a go anyway" club is probably almost endless.
What a massive talent! Thank you for sharing such an amazing artist with us, and notably to end (nearly) the year with someone so special. Thank you Mr. Beard!
Hello again and thanks for the comment. I thought it might be a good thing to close the year with a particuarly upbeat subject, and I don't think I cold have chosen a better one than Jack Davis.
Love cartooning and comic art. Very inspiring.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video.
One of my favourites!
Thanks for your comment.
DELIGHTFUL! Thanks so much for this one, Pete. I remember studying his work in my Mad magazines too. I was just a kid but naively recognized his talent and style.
You've been very busy producing great videos.
Thanks again for what you do so well.
Cheers and happy holidays.
Many thanks for your continued appreciation for the channel. It's a genuine pleasure to know the work is valued by viewers such as yourself. Hope yours is a good 2024.
I had to get my wisdom teeth removed in the '90s and went to a dental surgeon in the ritzy part of Atlanta...and on the wall in his office was an original caricature of him drawn by Jack Davis. Boy, did I kook out over that! He was impressed that I knew who the artist was. Why, I thought everyone recognized Jack Davis's iconic work! I never knew Jack was an Atlanta boy until I watched your lovely homage to him.
Hello again and thanks for your Davis anecdote. I wonder if that's how he paid for things like dental treatment. There's a rumour (probably untrue) Picasso always paid his restaurant bills with a doodle on a napkin.
What a wonderful eulogy! This man was incredible with his sense of fun and his parodies of anything and everything. Both hubby and I read his MAD magazines as youngsters and we still refer to the wise cracks we saw in his “busy” and hilarious comics. Thank you for sharing with us all this very interesting and entertaining view of the life well-lived and loved of this wonderful artist❤️🦘🇦🇺
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation for this video. I must say I've been very pleasantly surprised by how many other Davis fans there are out there who have commented positively about my tribute. Your comment is very welcome.
Fantastic job on this video. I am 69 and grew up with Davis' work in the various 50's and 60's publications, but I never knew the total extent of this prolific artist's output. You knocked this one out of the park Pete.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments and appreciation of this video. I too was surprised by how much of his other work I had been unaware of until I made the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Jack's style was so iconic and instantly recognizable. As one of the longest running comic illustrators, his name is up there with Russ Heath and John Severin as titans of the art form.
No argument from me, sir.
Wow! I like all his work! He was a great artist!
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of his work.
one of my favorites! Thank you for an excellent, entertaining AND educational video. Great work from a real fan.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. It's always a pleasure to know the channel is valued by viewers.
Davis taught me everything I ever would learn about drawing.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of this video.
