And that he was on his school's baseball team! I believe he was self-taught in his type-design and hand lettering, though he attended the Art Students League for 5 years of training in drawing and painting before embarking on his career as an illustrator and writer. He hand lettered the display texts for almost all of the books he illustrated, and he designed at least one complete typeface which he used in some of his book projects.Author and Illustrator of Books for Childrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794207641219472636noreply@blogger.com
