The fine hatching and pebble board were all used to give his images a texture and depth beyond anything seen in the field. Finlay and another illustrator at this time named Lee F. Conrey (see above) both provided lots of imaginative drawings for both magazines and books (BPIB).
Comics were another genre that started hiring illustrators. Born in Humbolt, Minnesota, Austin Briggs studied at the Wicker Art School in Detroit, and then attended the Art Students League in New York City. He settled there and worked for an advertising agency and freelanced for various magazines, like the Dearborn Independent, Collier's, McClures and Pictorial Review. He started his comic strip career as an assistant on Flash Gordon, then took over the Secret Agent X-9 strip, and began anonymously illustrating the Flash Gordon daily in the 1940s and early 1950s. He then left comics to focus on his illustration work and became one of the founders of the Famous Artists School in Westport, Connecticut, and a member of the Society of Illustrator's Hall of Fame.
Illustrators traveled and sketched areas of the world that many of the viewers had not seen. During his long career, John Clymer illustrated the history of the American West. First, he and his wife, Doris, would thoroughly research the subject and then travel to the proposed site for a firsthand feeling. As a result, Clymer's works rich in accurate historical detail and capturing the essence of the geography. He was able to recreate an historical event or era and bring the viewer into the physical scene. By the time he joined the Cowboy Artists of America in 1969, he had attained a very successful career as both an illustrator and painter. Through his work for the Saturday Evening Post, he brought images of the West to literally thousands of Americans. From 1942 to 1962 he had over 70 cover illustrations (Ask Art).
Illustrators told stories through their artwork, which the viewers loved to follow.
Tom Lovell told stories such as about a Native American finding a Raggedy Ann doll on a lonely Western road, a settler teaching his wife how to shoot a rifle and Indians warming their hands over the chimney of a snow buried cabin. His attention to detail was incredible, and he rarely completed more than 12 works a year. His peers considered him one of the deans of Western art. For 39, Lovell worked as a freelance illustrator for magazines such as Colliers, McCalls, National Geographic, Life, and the Saturday Evening Post. He was as known for his Western art as his emotional images of Civil War battles, that were telecast as part of a public television documentary and published in the accompanying book (Cowboy Artists of America).
Through the decades, many of the illustrators, including Ron Cobb, continued their political involvement. Between 1966 and 1976, his political cartoons were the voice of America's new anti-establishment generation. These included artwork about the Vietnam War, inner city race riots, gun culture, and the felling of ancient forests. Cobb was born in 1937. www.cdfnd.donavan.org/Gallery.htm" as a teenager, his main interests were science fiction and later, science and art. By the age of 17, Cobb was working for Disney Studios in Burbank, California, as an animation breakdown artist, progressing to become an 'inbetweener' on the animation feature Sleeping Beauty the last Disney film to be produced with hand-inked cels. He then began working for the underground paper LA Freep and expanded to over 90 university papers. He is known for his striking use of black lines and white. In June, 2005, he wrote: "As a middle class, white, sappy secular humanist, I desperately wanted to learn how to convert my bitter disappointment and anger into a clarification of the debate and a contribution to the winning of real social and cultural transformation, no more, no less. I still think this opportunity is as open now, as it ever was, only it's just getting harder to be heard." (Watson)
Some illustrators were "heard" through their film-related work. Hired for first film poster work on "Hello Dolly" while he was still going to art school, in his short life and career, Richard Amsel produced many posters, often exceeding the visuals of the movies they depicted and usually overlooked when those movies were brought out on DVD. In addition to film, Amsel had a strong career as a TV Guide cover artist and did album covers for Bette Midler. His style was a combination of pulpishness with strong outlines and the swirling curves of art noveau. He was very well-known in the 1960s, and is now part of a Smithsonian permanent exhibit.
Illustrators had varying notoriety during their lifetime. Bernie Fuchs has gained a degree of recognition rarely experienced by a living artist. For his accomplishments, the American Sport Art Museum and Archives selected him as its Sport Artist of the Year 1991....
Pixar Not All Fun and Games Pixar creates some of the most recognizable products of any company: Its animated films all display a distinctive style marked by a certain combination of realistic movement and an almost Impressionist use of color and form. The mingling of the realistic and the cartoonish, of the vulgar with touches of high art, the tongue-in-cheek commercial with traditional narrative tropes has given the studio a series of

16). In comparing a number of literary elements in one story, Smith and Wiese (2006) contend that at times, when attempting to transform an old story into a modern multicultural version, cultural meanings of the original story may be lost. In turn, the literature does not subject the reader to another culture. For instance, in the story about the fisherman, that Smith and Wiese access, the plot remains similar plot,
