Charles Davis Mitchell is now totally unknown, unfortunately, but he was a very talented illustrator! I love his drawings.

funny, i'd never heard of charles david mitchell until i saw this piece for sale. good stuff. i was checking out your page and i noticed the piece by David Hendricksen that you recently picked up. what a great drawing! i saw it online and i forgot to bid on it. i saw what it went for. you got a great deal$. kudos. by the way, probably the best of the "should be much better known illustrators" is the great frank godwin. i can't think of many people who can just flat out draw as well as him. truly a master.

Boy, do I regret not buying this page now when it was on sale at Anthony's site. I loved this bool. Tower Of Shadows and Chamber of Darkness too were highlights of my adolescence. Let me know if you ever...well, you know. Congrats!

hey mark, thanks. i do like that page. i especially like the tom sutton self portrait holding his portfolio. some people have asked me "who is that lady holding the portfolio?" ...but it's tom. by the way, you've got some sweet pages yourself.

Wonderful piece, my guess was a stamp design; but I googled it and found it's actually a 1925 Bulova Watch advertisement from the Saturday Evening post. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/258675572321506063/

hey jonathan, holy crap, batman! wow. thanks for the detective work. i really had no clue as to what it was used for. i'll make the change to the description, and of course a big thank you to you when i do it. thanks again for the info. best, shawn

Love Franklin Booth's work. One of the great illustrators, and his fine detailing is indeed hard to capture in a scan.

Ahh, I feel horrible didn't mean to insult your mentor. Now that I read the bubble more closely it couldn't be more obvious because he flat out says "This is terrifyin Tom Sutton". When I read that I thought he was referring to a character in the story... sort of how Crypt Keeper and those types set up the story. Anyways. Sorry about that. Awesome that you have this piece of art with such an awesome personal back story. AND like you say, an awesome piece of art !!!

no worries. i see what you mean. if you just look at the page without reading anything, it does look like a spinstery old lady who's narrating. still funny. thanks for the note. shawn

Very awesome!! Now who is the old lady with an umbrella narrator ??

oh my god, that's funny! the old lady with the umbrella is actually tom sutton, the artist who plotted and drew the story. if you look close you'll see some comic pages falling out of the portfolio he's carrying. the reason i got the page is because when i was in art school many years ago i met tom a few times and he couldn't have been nicer or more generous (he was the second pro that i ever met, the first being bhob stewart, so for me it was a really big deal). so this is a good way for me to remember him. besides all that, it's a cool page.
