Here are some illustrations from cartoonist Abner Dean’s(1910-1982) book “It’s A Long Way To Heaven”.Abner Deans a cartoonist I’ve become a bit obsessed with for one thing he’s very mysterious there’s not a lot of info on him but mainly for his art obviously just from these alone you can tell Dean had quite the imagination his surreal cartoon drawings in this book can range from interesting to disturbing but no matter what I love them all and I’m a bit upset we can’t know more about this artist.

Some Beautiful Music Sheet Covers by Einar Nerman from made between 1912-1932 I love the simplicity of these many artist think detail is needed to make art pieces good but Nerman’s designs are examples of how less is more the strong simple character designs,simple one color backgrounds that blend into the characters and beautiful staging.
