PULP ADVENTURECON #5 is scheduled for Saturday, November 5th at the
Ramada Inn, Bordentown NJ ... just off Exit 7 of the New Jersey
Turnpike. We have room for 48 tables, and we've already sold 24.
The theme of the show is pulp magazines and vintage paperbacks. I
just spoke with illusatrator EVERETT RAYMOND KINSTLER on the telephone,
and he's accepted our invitation to be our Guest of Honor -- along with
illustrator LOUIS GLANZMAN, who claims that he's always wanted to meet
fellow artist Kinstler.
EVERETT RAYMOND KINSTLER is a native New Yorker who began his career at
age 16, drawing comic books and hundreds of book and magazine
illustrations, as well as covers for paper back books. As one of the
"golden age" era of comic book artists, his illustrations for
magazines, including The Shadow and Doc Savage, have influenced the pop
art school. He studied at the Art Students League, where he later
taught from 1969 to 1974. Kinstler ultimately made the transition to
portraitist, and soon established himself as one of the nation's
foremost portrait painters. For over four decades, Kinstler also has
devoted time to painting landscapes and watercolors. Kinstler's life
and artwork are the subjects of two recently published books.
LOUIS GLANZMAN was born in 1922, raised in the farmlands of Virginia,
he is a self educated artist. He began his career at the age of sixteen
as a comic book illustrator. In the 40's he served as an illustrator on
the Air Force magazine for the US Air Forces. During the 50's he
illustrated numerous children's books, including the popular 'Pippi
Longstocking' series. He is listed in 'Illustrators of Children Books.'
Always working as a free-lance illustrator, his paintings have appeared
in Readers Digest, True, Argosey, Colliers, Boys Life, New Yorker,
National Lampoon, Saturday Evening Post, etc. His career led him for a
short sojourn as a court reporter for Life magazine. The covers for
Time magazine enhanced his career as a portrait painter, and he is a
member of the 'American Portrait Society.'
