BROWNSTONE DETECTIVES GETS AN ILLUSTRATOR
Please help us to welcome David Weitzman to Brownstone Detectives!
David writes and illustrates books that evoke another time. And he has been doing so now for more than 30 years.
He grew up in Chicago and as a child admittedly spent more time drawing than studying. This behavior, as if often does, landed him in art school.
He received a degree from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1952, and later, perhaps to atone for his grammar-school sins, both a BS and MA in history. By the early 1970s he had moved to Covelo, California, where he began to write and illustrate children’s/young adult books about history.
Around 1980 he began to specialize in historically-accurate juvenile fiction about American industrial archeology. He has written on airplanes, ships, iron foundries, metal workers, canals, windmills, bridges and subways, but has returned to the subject of steam power a number of times.
David joins us to offer freehand and line drawings of our clients’ houses, many of which will grace the covers of their Brownstone Detectives House History Books!
David’s first Brownstone Detectives creation is his rendering of 738 Macon Street! Maybe yours will be next!
Let us know what you think!
