Artist Spotlight

Many, if not most, of the images in our Asgard Press Vintage and Retro Calendars were created by artists of a by-gone era who’s work helped shape and define the times in which they lived. To honor these artists, illustrators, and photographers, we’re dedicating this space as an Artist Spotlight to share biographical information and artwork about the people behind the posters, paintings, and magazine covers. Check back often as we will be updating this page with an ongoing tribute of entries.
