Ed, the incredible illustrator

Here's my friend Ed at Starbucks yesterday morning with The Lady's Home Journal magazine cover he designed and illustrated in retro for August, 1926, featuring American English Channel swimmer, Trudy Ederle. The whole illustration really is incredible, right down to the aged mailing label.

There's a certain sense of irony in our weekly meetings as photographers and illustrators constantly vie to out create and out bid each other, sometimes for the same assignment. Our disciplines are very competitive, yet we admire each other's skills, hold each other accountable, and just as "iron sharpens iron," so we sharpen each other. So, today I photographed Ed, the incredible illustrator with one of his incredible illustrations.

To learn more about Ed, go to my May 9, 2009, blog, visit his website, or go to his blog.
