U.S. Army Recruiting Poster

Illustration was done for US Army, ca. 1956

The orders by the art director were to "paint me the sky of the future".

He didn't quite understand how anyone didn't know what he wanted.

He also said he wanted an all-American boy in the foreground. When asked what an all-American boy looked like, he provided a photograph which upon turning it over had the caption "One of our Norwegian allies training in Canada". Copyright 1998 Charles J. Andres All Rights Reserved
