We’re signed up to the 365 Poster Blog rss feed and last week they wrote an eye-catching post about Abner Graboff, a children’s book and LP illustrator. We decided that we had to investigate his work further as we’d never heard of him or seen his work.
There aren’t that many websites on the internet that have information about him. However, the one person that does is someone we’ve been mutually following for years on different social streams – illustrator & animator, Ward Jenkins. He too came across some designs by Abner Graboff and proceeded to find out more. Back in 2009, Ward managed to track down Graboff’s son, Jon and interviewed him. Go visit, there’s lots of primary material and many more images.
Seeing as he’s American, vintage books that he illustrated are mostly available on the USA Amazon website.
