Kay Nielsen

Kay Nielsen

Kay Nielsen is considered one of a triumvirate of classic "great" illustrators from the golden age of illustration and gift book design during the first quarter of the 20th century.

This is a sketch of one of his illustration.

this is by marcel dzama

he did the cover for beck's album "guero"

normally he does little watercolors of people and kids

but this one is different. it is really simple and i liked it. 

it is called "saddest ghost."  and it is only about 6 x 6 inches. which is nice and small.

here is a link to the piece, as well as his other work.
