Once again Johnny Martz beat me to the punch by showcasing the wonderful work of L.A. artist, Liz Adams… but since its been a few years, I think its ok that I post about her today. Why “ketchup only”? Who knows – but its part of how Liz describes herself in her Flickr profile… and I like that!
And I really like Liz’s work… and as Johnny wrote back in ‘05, I’m not quite sure why. Liz seems to have stayed true to the style she probably drew in all her life, since she was a kid… there’s a sort of sweet honesty to everything she does that I find really refreshing, fun and appealing.
If Peewee Herman shopped online, he’d probably have something from Liz’s Etsy shop framed on the Playhouse walls.

Have you ever heard of Evaline Ness? She was an illustrator of many children’s books during the mid-20th century period. At a time when most illustration was still being done in a style of literal realism, Ness was among that group of stylistic pioneers whose work still influences the look of illustration today.
She also has the unusual distinction of having been married for a time to the famous FBI agent, Elliot Ness.
The Bloombury Auction House in New York has an upcoming auction featuring a collection of children’s books signed by Evaline Ness, her Caldecott medal for Sam, Bangs and Moonshine and some never before seen sketchbooks and dummies all of which come from her family collection.
The sale will take place at Bloomsbury Auctions New York on Wednesday, December 9th, but those who won’t be able to attend can view nearly a dozen pieces from the Ness collection in my Evaline Ness Flickr set.

The artwork is definitely a little Peewee-esque (you know, except for the word “blood” on that bottom one….). :o)
wow, ugly… also, “female illustrator” tag FTW
I have a Liz Adams wallet and it's the coolest thing I own!
