I have to agree with Hollis Duncan and Michael Beirut, the Alvin Lustig archive is truly one of the best on the web.
Do yourself a favor - take a little creative side trip and check out their awesome collection of New Directions book covers.
That's Right,

Seems ironic that someone who you say is the best on the web has been dead since 1955. Lustig is indeed, as you've suggested, a true master. His work, like all things modern, continue to inspire.
ReplyDeleteThe reference to best was actually refering to the archive and the collection of Lustig, not the man himself. With that said, Lustig's work holds up and is still super solid and smart design unlike alot of the crap existing today.

Agree indeed. And I did in fact mistake your comment about his archive being a best on the web. My bad. A couple other nice archives can be found at:
