Description
Most of this information is about what it took me to become a commercial artist. I am quite sure that it could apply to anybody that was a freelance commercial artist back in the 50's, 60's and 70's. There is a lot of information on this page so be patient and if you are interested in becoming a commercial artist, designer or illustrator I hope some of this will help you. THANKS FOR VISITING DOUG'S PAGE!
Doug has had a tremendous career as a free-lance commercial artist. He enjoyed doing all aspects of his trade, which included layout, design, illustration, typesetting and printing. He won 20 awards for logo designs, billboards, newspaper ads, brochures, etc. He designed coin art for Evil Kneivel, won a first place award in 1976 for bicentennial artwork for City of Amarillo, Texas, designed work for actors Dale Robertson and Robert Mitchum.
He worked as a staff artist for The Quarter Horse Journal before he stepped out in his own free-lance commercial art business. He is a graduate of the old Famous Artists Schools, which was started long ago by Norman Rockwell and others. Doug was too busy doing his commercial artwork during the 60's and 70's to concentrate on his painting and drawing talent. He worked 7 days a week and at least 3 days out of each week he worked 24 hours. He finally burnt himself out and decided to get out of the rat race.
