My recent acquisition is Milton Glasers's quite rare advertising poster; he didn't do many of these. This one was created in 1971 for 7UP. It is a bit beat up and ripped on the edges, but it is still Milton Glaser.
You can see more of his work from this period in the Milton Glaser: POP book.
My recent acquisition is a poster for Milton Glaser's one-man show in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1979, designed by Boris Bućan.
I was pleased to be invited to redesign Delmonico's old wordmark and create its new logo. Delmonico's is recognized as the first fine dining restaurant United States, established in 1837. Among the many well-known patrons of Delmonico's were Theodore Roosevelt, Chester Arthur, Mark Twain, Arthur Sullivan, Lillian Russell, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, J.P. Morgan, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., Nikola Tesla, Edward VII, and Napoleon III of France.
My recent acquisition is this comic strip of Jeff Hawke from the episode of Comet's Tale from 1974, drawn by Sydney Jordan. What surprised me is that I haven't seen a messier and clumsier original comic in a long time, especially of an established comic. The original is full of not well done white tempera corrections. But as my friend Zoran Djukanovic once said: "Only what one can see when it is printed counts."
Maybe part of the reason for this is that three months after this strip was created, the comic was discontinued.
I designed this book with the help of Ignacio Serrano and Xiaohua Yang.
The book was published by Monacelli Press and contains well over 1100 visuals. It covers Milton Glaser's work from when he was a 12-year-old (1942) through 1975.
