This illustration was based on the book BEYOND THIRTY. I used my wife and one of my students as models for this drawing.

A close up showing the detail in the rendering which was done using a Crowquill pen on Whatman's hot-pressed illustration board.

Illustration for TARZAN OF THE APES.

Illustration for OUT OF TIME'S ABYSS. This drawing appeared on the cover of ERB-dom #26, June 1969. I'll post more of these ink line illustrations on Friday.
For the past three years I have been working on a series of comic book cover parodies and decided to turn some of the above art into covers, below are the results. I exhibit theses covers as 13 x 10" signed, limited edition prints in galleries and art centers.

Harry,
I mentioned a few weeks ago how much I enjoyed your books while I was in university. It might interest you to know that that was in Manila, the Philippines.
I'm curious: I do not recall you ever mentioning in any book of yours any artist that inspired you. Who was "your Harry Borgman?"
Harry:
Would you be interested in sharing some of your Edgar Rice Burroughs-related art in an ERB Artist Profile on yourself in our Official ERB Websites?

Hi Vince,
Countless artists have inspired me, a short list would be; Lou Fine, Simon & Kirby, Will Eisner, Noel Sickles, Milton Caniff, Al Parker, Steven Dohanos, David Stone Martin, Fred Ludekens, Stan Galli, Jacob Landau and Robert Weaver. Also a lot of artists in the fine art field.
Hi Bill,
I would be interested in sharing my ERB-related art in your websites. Just let me know what you need and where to send it.
Harry
