JEFF PRESTON-OLD SCHOOL ILLUSTRATOR: July 2010
http://oldschoolillustrator.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The past and ongoing adventures of an American Artist. Saturday, July 24, 2010. The Serendipity of a Frazetta. Now why would this ancient picture lead a post on Frank Frazetta? Oh and by the way that's Danny Herron, Me on banjo, Rocky Jones on the right with his guitar and Chuck Wagner towering behind us in his Gallatin High School football jersey. So all my friends pretty much knew, and know the name "Frazetta" (and probably are tired of my constant adoration). Now in the mid 80's when "Automan" was at ...

The past and ongoing adventures of an American Artist. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Oh how I have neglected this blog, it has been a LONG time since the last installment. Checking the calendar it has been a few days over a year. Somebody slow down the clock! However to say a lot has been going on in the time from then to now would be a vast understatement. Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson, aka "Sidebar Nation". Just launched a few days ago I hope their listeners have as much fun as we did. Enter ...

JEFF PRESTON-OLD SCHOOL ILLUSTRATOR: May 2010
http://oldschoolillustrator.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
The past and ongoing adventures of an American Artist. Monday, May 31, 2010. Memorial Day and the Illustrator. The American Illustrator has played a major role in the history of our service men and women.

That same year Robin Dale of Amdale Media http:/ www.amdalemedia.com/. For three days we recorded everything!
