Barbara McClintock


McClintock is an illustrator; although, there is a famous geneticist with the same name.  It's hard to believe but these two lady have the same name.  Anyways, she has an anthropomorphic style much like her influence Grandville.

James Jean




I had seen James Jean's illustrations on clothing and bags of one of Prada's spring collection. I was pleasantly surprised when Becca showed us his stuff in class. I have to include him in my contemporary artist 'data base' because his work is so cool!!!
