Harry Beckhoff

 I've been over to one of my favorite sites, ILLUSTRATION ART, and came across these astounding thumbnail sketches by Harry Beckhoff who passed away in 1979.

A fuller article about Harry can be found at my other favorite site, TODAY'S INSPIRATION: http://todaysinspiration.blogspot.com/2010/02/harry-beckhoff-illustrator-you-should.html

Beckhoff's sketches weren't much bigger than a penny, but they are marvelous little jewels.  They served as comprehensive blueprints for  finished illustrations that were ten times larger.
