Lazyest Gallery cannot access Gibson, Charles Dana/
This one is long overdue; tonight is the grand opening of our Charles Dana Gibson archive! To honor an artist of this stature, we’re kicking it off with a complete 24 part story: A Widow and Her Friends. This story was originally published at the turn of the century, but I luckily stumbled upon a weekly reprint from 1913. This series of illustrations was extremely popular in its day; it’s not hard to see why. Enjoy!
Lazyest Gallery cannot access Brinkley, Nell/
We’re heading back to the Nell Brinkley archive for another short series of portraits: I Know a Girl There! Once again I’ve only located a handful which is hard to believe as this seems an idea that could easily sustain itself for dozens of cities. I’m hopeful I’ll at least stumble upon Chicago some day…for now enjoy the few we have.
Featuring John T. McCutcheon, Tad Dorgan, Carey Orr, Clare Briggs, E. A. Batchelor, Hal Coffman, Jack Callahan, Tom McNamara, George Herriman, Harry Hershfield, Cliff Sterrett, Fontaine Fox, Jean Knott, Rube Goldberg, T. E. Powers, and Nell Brinkley.

I’ve added a handful of these odes to old flames to our Nell Brinkley archive; I’m guessing there may be more of them out there, but these are all I’ve been able to find thus far. If you think the illustrations are overwrought, wait until you get to the text…sheesh! I say that with affection, of course.
Lazyest Gallery cannot access Papercraft/
It has been quite a while since we’ve featured any papercraft on the site, so I figured now was the perfect time to put this one up…seems like a fun Easter morning project for the kiddos. Let us know how it turns out!
