Original Product Art Drawings Ed Margolis Stadium Seat
Commercial artist Ed Margolis did these preliminary sketches for a new product called the Stuadium Storage Pocket. These come directly from the portfolio of Ed Margolis himself. There are two 11 x 14 inch and one 7 x 11 inch sheet of tracing paper, drawn with marker. Shown are various uses for the Storage Pocket seat, with comic art characters. There are also a few photocopied images. They date from the 1960's or 70's, and are in excellent condition overall. * It is interesting to see a product in development, and the creative promotional ideas in these great graphic art originals. 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. *
