Wow, how lucky that some TCers found this, congrats! In appreciation, he gave me two originals, one was the water color he made of a corner of the Trader Vic's in Beverly Hills. That painting was his test for his job at Stephen Crane Associates in the late 50s, he was sent there as an art spy and did this, and he was hired. And then he drew me my own Tiki Mug design :) (he did one for Otto too): I never really got conclusive evidence WHICH Stephen Crane mugs he designed, here is a copy of a Rum barrel rendering he did: |
