John Steinbeck
Born February 27, 1902
Somehow missed getting this Salinas native son's birthday up on his actual birthday... belated again. Seems to be my MO.
This digital piece is inspired by a 1935 charcoal drawing by James Fitzgerald of the author just prior to the publication of Tortilla Flat. Interesting, in that this post is being written on the birthday of the actor John Garfield, who starred in one of the screen adaptations of that novel. I'm gonna try to a quick digital rendering of Garfield up in the next few days.
Peace to all, and remember your respective native sons and daughters.
