Nostalgia & History > Tom Fawell - EMD Advertising Artist Part 2Date: 05/30/20 00:10 Tom Fawell - EMD Advertising Artist Part 2 Author: SvenMolson I would like to thank those who viewed and commented on last week's posting of Tom Fawell's images. Based on the success of that posting, the following images exhaust my supply of his work.

When I was on the steam crew I got to meet Howard. He was a wonderful gentleman, great artist, and a WWII fighter pilot. Howard also painted the illustrations that were used on the 1969 Centennial calendar for the Union Pacific.

In some of those images, it looks like the engines are derailing! Love the swirling light of the brakeman's lantern! Only a photographer would understand that phenomenon. The colors are really off the charts bold! I would buy a reproduction poster, if available!

Bob Date: 05/30/20 10:05 Re: Tom Fawell - EMD Advertising Artist Part 2 Author: GN1969 Love the Soo Line 700 rendition.

Lance/199 Date: 05/30/20 18:37 Re: Tom Fawell - EMD Advertising Artist Part 2 Author: MP4093 WOW! I have always admired his bold style and had no idea there were this many including some local favorites. I was able to acquire one I had wanted for a long time, the Santa Fe SD45's, which I do not see here so there must have been more I was not aware of. Very nice, thank you for sharing these.

Note the position light signals. ;) All kidding aside these are great. Thanks for posting. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/31/20 06:51 by Englewood. Date: 05/31/20 09:49 Re: Tom Fawell - EMD Advertising Artist Part 2 Author: Hou74-76 I wonder what his process was. Did he work off photos given to him and then re-imagine or sketch them with enhanced color, lines of force and angle of motion? Some of his points of view seem like them come from someone who was intimate with railroading. How did he collect his research to make these highly dramatic, hyper-realistic scenes?
Thanks Sven, quite the body of work here - a virtual gallery tour that is very pleasing, intriguing and historic. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/31/20 09:50 by Hou74-76. |
