Don Weller

My father is artist Don Weller. It's hard for me to hold back the bragging when it comes to my dad. He is extremely talented and prolific. He has had an amazing (and I do mean, an AMAZING) career. He did tons of print design and illustration in Los Angeles in the 1960's, 70's and 80's -- Time magazine, multiple TV Guide's and a series of U.S.P.S. postage stamps for one of the Olympics, to name a few. He has also illustrated a few children's books in his time, too. Today, I realized with surprise I've never blogged about his art here before.

I did a search on Google to locate some links to his children's books (which I found) but I also came across this recent blog post. I've never read this blog before, and I'm really happy I found this.
