By Jack Markow<\/strong> (Pitman Publishing Corporation) I’m just showing off now but I found this slim little lovely in a local charity shop. I know nothing about the author save what it says on the back, but as a ‘How-To’ guide from an obviously highly talented journeyman-cartoonist this is probably one of the most useful examples I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n Jack Markow is (was?) an artist and printmaker whose work appeared in\u00c2\u00a0the New Yorker<\/em><\/strong>, the Saturday Evening Post<\/em><\/strong>, This Week<\/em><\/strong>, Ladies Home Journal<\/em><\/strong>, Argosy<\/em><\/strong>, Cosmopolitan<\/em><\/strong> and a host of others, as well as for a host of high profile advertising clients.<\/p>\n Published in 1956 this edition, part of the ‘Pitman Arts Series’ clearly and methodically lays out the prime fundamentals every new and aspiring pencil-pusher absolutely must know, ranging from Creating a Cartoon Style, shape construction, the head, hands, Cartoon Types, Proportion, Emotion, Action, Backgrounds, Techniques, How To Get Ideas, and The Process from Roughs to Finished Sale.<\/p>\n In an arena that is ever-changing because of new technology, this is a superb, concise and entrancing primer in the art of being graphically amusing. The publisher who picks up and reissues this is going to reap a whole heap of benefits, and they will certainly have my blessing.<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a9 1956 Pitman Publishing Corporation.
