Bill DougalAs a book illustrator, Bill enjoys making whimsical yet descriptive pictures to accompany text. His favorite style combines cartooning and realism. The somewhat loose look to the art has spirit, and affirms the hand of an individual, in an age when mch art has a computerized appearance.Bill's collaboration with Fred Neff is among his favorite endeavors. Bill admires Fred's imagination, and his style, which is both personal and personable. When Bill starts to illustrate one of Fred's stories, some of the author's input is very specific, but most is left for Bill to interpret visually.Hartford Art School gave Bill a BFA in 1973, and they haven't asked for it back, so he figures he's doing pretty well. After having worked at ad agencies, Bill now earns a living through caricature drawing and illustration. The illustration assignments fall into the categories of books, advertisements, and publications.
