Ladies and gentleman... Milton Glaser.

I enjoyed listening to Milton talk about drawing, specifically what he had to say about how it connects with life, art school, and THE COMPUTER.


MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.


For those that don't know, Milton Glaser is one of the most famous Graphic Designers of our time. He is most remembered for the Bob Dylan poster and the "I Love NY" logo. Here is a great interview conducted by designboom with Glaser. I found this question/answer relevant to myself and other students:


"any advice for the young ?


it's a tough business,
you have to be amazingly consistent and persistent.
you have to work like hell.
you cannot become an excellent practioneer without
constantly working hard all your life. it is not an easy way
to earn your money. you have to be well trained and you
have not to be narrow to references, because everybody
else is doing that at the same time. the richness of
understanding comes from the deep historical,
philosophical idea."

Saw this clip on Wellington's blog. LOVE IT. Glaser oozes knowledge and talent that has developed over one very successful lifetime. I wish we could have him for tea.
