Kevin McVey, 1928-2011
Jack Cassidy in Superman, date unknown
The musical comedy It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman debuted on Broadway in 1996. Illustrator Kevin McVey worked in advertising and newspapers and was syndicated by the Los Angeles Times, but was best known for his theater caricatures. This piece makes use of Ben-Day dots, widely used in the 1950s and 1960s to create shading or secondary colors in four-process printing. The dots came in a variety of sizes on transparent sheets, which were cut and applied to the surface of the drawing, with a burnisher. |
