George Nelson 2 Guest Post: George Nelson Portrait by Josie Portillo

This week Josie sent me a very special illustration that has been inspired by MidCenturyHome!

“Every week I try to motivate myself to work on personal sketches or paintings despite how busy I may be with other projects.  This week I was inspired to do a mini gouache portrait of George Nelson, especially after reading ‘George Nelson: The Origin of a Doozy Success Part 1‘ on here! -cool! icon smile Guest Post: George Nelson Portrait by Josie Portillo -
So tell me, which Mid-Century Modern designer would you like to see me do a portrait of next?

I really like this idea and I’m honored that my blog inspired such a nice artist like Josie! icon biggrin Guest Post: George Nelson Portrait by Josie Portillo

So -because there were quite a few Mid-Century Modern designers out there- I’ll give you a list of 3 designers I already wrote about to make it easier:
