The Pictorial Arts

Those Were the Days

Frank Godwin was a really good book and advertising illustrator and comic strip artist, as well as my favorite golden age Wonder Woman fill in artist. Here is a lovely set of ads using the same pose motif that was used on the talcum tin. If advertising art was this good now, I'd buy the talcum just for the design. Boy, those were the days.


Look at one of Godwin's Wonder Woman stories here.

About Me

My Photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, as I don't limit myself in the process of how an image is made. Images are my life.
View my complete profile
I intend to share many of my pictorial treasures, some not terribly rare, but terribly meaningful to me. I like to zoom in on details along the way and share what has inspired me in my career as an artist. And I would like to examine the value of pictorial images, not in terms of money, but in degrees of imagination.

I refer to myself as a pictorialist, not just in my set of skills, but in my lifelong appreciation of the skills and talents of artists, illustrators, cartoonists, sculptors, photographers, typographers, and graphic designers. I'd like to share that appreciation with anyone who stumbles into my little world.

It's a good little world!
