See for example this thread first.
The Breck Girl is running for Prez!
At least, I think that's what he says!
Oh, God, what a bore
...and then there's Al Gore
and a Senator rumored as Lez.
Cheers!
...oh, and Happy New Year!
Do you remember who the artist was who did the original Breck Girl ads? (trivia question for the aging). :)
Oooh, oooh, I know!
Leonardo da Vinci (as in The da Vinci Comb.)
Cheers!
Rockwell?
Oops. It was Charles Sheldon.
Charles Sheldon of "What would Jesus Do" fame? How about Jon Whitcomb? He's the artist I remember.
All a bit before my time, but I still remember seeing some of those ads in later years. I think this is the one that sold my Mom the silverware we grew up with. http://www.americanartarchives.com/whitcomb_cmmplt_org_46dec.jpg
Nice find! I remember because my dad took the Famous Artist course by mail and Whitcomb was one of the instructors. He did a great job for Breck, that's for sure!
