Always wanted to know who was behind those portraits that contribute so much to the style of the Wall Street Journal. Just stumbled across the (an?) answer: Randy Glass Studio.

I'd always wondered that...now I know. Definitely an interesting tid-bit that you have stumbled on :).

Wow, they do some incredible work at Rand Glass Studio.
ReplyDeleteI understand Glass used to illustrate only the movie review column, but WSJ doesn't use him any more.
ReplyDeleteHere are two staff illustrators:
Noli Novak http://www.nolinovak.com/
Nancy Januzzi http://nancyjanuzzi.com/
Wow, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello. I happen to be Randy Glass's brother. (It's Randy, not Rand.) Nancy is basically right. Randy did the movie review portraits, plus any OTHER portraits of "recognizable" people. WSJ has basically dropped their portrait format as a cost-saving measure ... apparently Rubert Murdoch was going broke (LOL).
ReplyDeleteIn my humble opinion, Randy's the greatest commercial illustrator alive today. Also, a pretty decent brother.....
Bill, thanks for dropping by. Sorry for the typo; now corrected.
ReplyDeleteRandy Glass's work really stood out. It's a crying shame they let him go.
