Original Drawing Ed Margolis Halloween Store Display
Commercial artist Ed Margolis did this sketch for a Halloween season advertising campaign. This piece comes directly from the portfolio of Ed Margolis himself. It is marker on an 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper. Shown are three store display stands of Halloween window decorations. It dates from the 1960's or 70's, and is in excellent condition overall. * This is unique item for anyone who enjoys original commercial artwork, and Halloween collectibles. This item was done by commercial artist Ed Margolis. He worked in suburban Chicago, and for 32 years owned his own design business called Emar Studio. There he did graphic design and artwork for numerous companies, including Hirsch Tools, Sears, and the Burry Biscuit Company, a division of Quaker Oats. He created the packaging and store display for Burry's for their special Batmobile toy promotion, inspired by the Batman television series in 1969. He also designed the logo for the former local suburban public transit organization Nortran. His approach to advertising was to portray the product itself in a realistic fashion. His talent for realism was excellent, yet he also exhibited a comic art style of drawing, along with a great sense of humor. These qualities made him an outstanding graphic artist. *
