Illustration: More From The Monkey Man, Lawson Wood

This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for more jaw dropping images from classic illustrated books and magazines.



Awhile back, we featured an article on the "Monkey Painter", Lawson Wood. Mike Fontanelli recently brought by a big stack of vintage Colliers magazines with Wood covers for us to scan. Check these babies out!








The other day, I was surfing blogs and I came across a post that popped my eyes on Will Finn's blog, Small Room. It featured scans of a fabulous Wartime era calendar by Wood from Will's collection. I dropped him a note and he generously brought it by for us to scan for the Archive. Here are a few samples...







There are more images from this great calendar in Will's article on Lawson Wood. If you haven't bookmarked Will's page yet, you should. Where else are you going to find inspiration and insight like the stuff on Will Finn's Small Room?

Many thanks to Will Finn and Mike Fontanelli for their generous support of the Archive project.
