Carol Day Wrighthad a facility for drawing women that quickly caught the eye of both agents and clients, so the man who had aspired to be a technical illustrator, by the outbreak of World War II became Great Britain\'s foremost pin-up artist. His pictures of beautiful women came to be called â\"lovelies\" and were an immensely popular feature of \"The Sketch\". He later became highly sought after fashion illustrator and then comic artist........................... Wright\'s brilliance at drawing and storytelling art permeates every frame of Carol Day, his comic strip masterpiece featured inThe Daily Mail, which he worked on until his passing in 1967. He would pencil just enough to establish the positions of his characters, then go directly into the art with a #2 sable brush. When this was finished, he would begin the process of building the complex and varied layers of ink textures and cross hatching that described the final image in a sort of visual tone feast. Prior to the last 2 years of the strip, he eschewed the American comics method of glued down zipatone in favor of hand creating these rich surface textures.
...................This is an early-story daily from theSimon Warestory. The art features all 3 of the stories main characters--Carol, future fiance and photographer Joe Wilson and is only the second daily where we meet title character Simon Ware. This is not your usual sketchily drawn late-period Carol, but is full of powerful portrait images--beautifully drawn and rendered with as many textures and other cross hatched techniques as any David Wright daily I\'ve seen.If you know what you are seeing, you\'ll know that is is an exceptional Carol Day strip for the later period.As with all Carol Days, this art is drawn on illustration board. Both the image and board are in excellent condition. There is a very small impact dent in the lower right corner and very minor white out use (see scans). But other than that the art is in top and handling with the USA is $12 and shipping to Great Britain and Europe is $25.00 for First Class (no tracking) or $45.00 for Global Priority (with tracking). My apologies for the high price for Global Priority, but costs have risen significantly over the past months. And I\'ve gotten a lot of good response about packaging. To my mind, artwork should be shipped with respect. So included in the shipping cost: each piece of art is first sealed in a waterproof bag, then secured to $2.25 worth of reinforced cardboard bound by professional packing tape..................Payment is to be made within 7 days of the conclusion of the sale....Good luck offerding!
