Even More Creatives As Models

Posted on January 5, 2014December 13, 2015 By Ann Thompson

Knock, Knock…Who’s There?

The direct mail piece below, was designed by Tom Gleason for the Art Direc­tors and Artists Club of San Francisco.

Tom said that this was ​“Lunchtime fun at Bob Strohmeyer’s studio, featuring some typical S.F. street people!”

In those days, our San Fran­cisco adver­tising commu­nity was a small and close group. Most jobs were accom­plished within the city among artist, retouchers, photog­ra­phers, art services and agency talents who might meet as they walked to or from restau­rants at lunchtime. They could be brought together easily for another example of ​“creatives as models”.

With the help of Tom Gleason, who was there at our Gath­ering 2013,

I have iden­ti­fied all except one creative/model.
