I was privileged to have had Charley Harper visit our gallery on three separate visits in the 1980's - His humor and kindness of spirit made a huge impact on me - it equaled his work in every aspect of depth. We still sell his Serigraphs and Books in our shop and online. We miss him but still enjoy what he gave us!

I've always been a fan of his work. Growing up in Cincinnati, we always had his posters for the park system on our walls which I would study their intricate details for hours. I feel lucky to have one of his very first books, the Betty Crocker cookbook for two which originally belonged to my mom. It's full of wonderful illustrations, in a somewhat different style, but just as whimsical and spirited. So glad that this book came out before Mr. Harper passed away last Sunday.

I think there's a very thin line between being inspired by, and copying an artist. She definitely walks the line. I just checked out Eleanor’s site.

Now I can have a little Charley around me while I squirrel away my pennies saving for the $200 Todd book:) It's funny I've been a fan of Eleanor's for awhile, but had never heard of Charley Harper until I read her bio for our show at SQFT—now I completely see the connection. I feel like a dummy! Julia dear, you rock. Now I can have a little Charley around me while I squirrel away my pennies saving for the $200 Todd book:)
