While researching the previous post about Jasper Johns & those Ballantine Ale cans, I happened to see the left hand photo of Dan Goodsell’s Mr. Toast character in close proximity to Jasper Johns’ “Painted Bronze” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Which was I thought was interesting since Johns —(not generally thought of as a portraitist)— also did the artwork on the right.
Beside being an illustrator and creator of various and sundry anthropomorphic toys, Dan Goodsell is co-author (along with Steve Roden) of the vintage packaging book “Krazy Kids Foods.”
