A Nonagenarian of Note

New York-born painter and art instructor Jack Faragasso—“one of the cornerstones of paperback illustration art”—celebrated his 95th birthday exactly a week ago, on January 23. To honor that milestone, Michael Stradford showcases several of Faragasso’s pieces featuring once-ubiquitous paperback cover model Steve Holland in his blog.

You’ll find more of Faragasso’s work on the image-hosting Web site Flickr. Or click here to read an interview with the artist.

Jack Faragasso is one of the great illustration artists and art teachers -- and a great human being!
