Description

This lovely original gouache piece by David Wright is untitled and has been published twice. It first appeared on page 184 in Terry Parker�s book, �Sirens�, the definitive examination of David Wright�s pin-up, advertising, and commercial illustration work. It next appeared as the back cover to �David Wright�s Carol Day: Lance Hallam�, the art book reproducing the original art to the Lance Hallam storyline from Carol Day in full-size and full-color and published by Roger Clark, Guy Mills, and yours truly under the Slingsby Bros, Ink! publishing banner. According to Parker in �Sirens�, the piece is thought to be a preliminary design for a Schweppes advertising showcard, possibly. But, given the 1960s as the estimated creation date of the piece, it�s clearly Carol Day and possibly just done in the style of one of Wright�s Schweppes advertising pieces.

On the one hand I wish you would stop posting such stunning pieces as I am getting seriously jealous. On the other hand, keep em coming, they are just too sweet not to share!
