Exciting Russia versus Canada Hockey of the 1970's

Wonderful and portrait filled map of Canada

Very well composed and stylish car illustrations
The show was well designed with one framed original artwork surrounded by pages of publications they appeared I enjoyed seeing a lot of familiar looking illustrations. I remeber seeing some of these in the pages of an illustration and photography promotion book Creative Source.
 I met illustratorTomio Nitto and he described his process of brushing on "gesso" on canvas board to create a scene of a giant boot and a chain saw of a lumberjack in a "clear cut" forest..
