Comic Art Postcard - Tex Lowell

This is an example of a comic art postcard by Tex Lowell. I just found out that Tex Lowell's real name was George E. Turner, but he used this name to hide his moonlighting from a newspaper he worked at in Amarillo, Texas. If this is true, then it's quite interesting because George E. Turner became famous in certain circles.

Tex Lowell drew a lot of these types of cards - they were something for tourists to buy in the 1950s. Sometimes he just signed "Tex" and sometimes he probably didn't sign them at all. This is a pretty good example of his art.

This is a standard/chrome postcard probably from the 1950s, certainly no later than the 1960s. If you're interested, click on the title to go to the listing.

And Merry Christmas!

Art Postcard Julie Andrews, by Al Herschfeld

This postcard is an interesting drawing of Julie Andrews by Al Herschfeld in 1968, while visiting the set of the movie STAR!. This movie was directed by Robert Wise, and was based on the life of British actress Gertrude Lawrence.

It looks like a simple illustration, but at the same time there are a lot of details and expressions represented.

I like it. If you're interested, click on the title to go to the listing.
