His earliest training in his eventual profession was though a mail order art course. He soon landed a job at Fawcett Publications , where he was employed from 1928-1934. He left this job to become a freelance pulp artist, moved to New York, and studied under Harvey Dunn at the Grand Central School Of Art . He painted for all the major publishers and was known for his fast-action scenes, his beautiful women, and his ability to meet a deadline. He worked in almost any genre--westerns, weird menace, detective, sports and even the 'saucys' (under the pseudonym of ''Blaine''). He was able to paint very quickly, producing one hundred paintings a year--two a week from 1935 through 1942. In cards were even more commercially successful. He also produced a number of less well known trading card series including Ugly Stickers, Your Own Name, Civil War and others. His daughter, Zina Saunders , is also a prolific and successful illustrator for magazines, books and trading cards. EXTERNAL LINK Gallery of Saunders' work |
