Hey gang,
Last week I was digging through a nice sized file folder of stuff from Frank Atkinson and Steven Parrish I have collected over the years. I saw a small picture of Frank in one of his ads in ST for his "Last and Final Book on Sign Art". After a couple of emails to Tod at The American Museum, I found a complete 1950 ST in my mailbox along with a few other articles and letters by Frank that I didn't already own. (Thanks Tod!)

He was 78 when this photo was taken and died six years later while living in Jackson, MS.

It's hard to say when I will actually get to tackle the project, but I want to dedicate a few Internet pages on this site to Frank Atkinson, including a few photos, drawings, and list of his books.

Not much high tech equipment in the photo above!...just tons of talent.

Thanks Mike , thats a great old photo.
Boy I'd love to see some backround on Frank.
I bought the book you mentioned, "Last and Final Book on Sign Art". a while ago, and to my suprise, He had signed the inside cover!
Thanks again for sharing. Bob
