A lot of people on the lunch list and that read this blog have either worked or done illustrations for Kenner/Hasbro and other toy companies over the years.
The Sunday Cincinnati Enquirer had a great article written by Laura Baverman about several companies in the area that still do toy design.
Here is a link:

As a segue, I recently did some Crayola Game package art for Wild Planet Toys. Here is a link to my post about it: http://christinawald.blogspot.com/2010/12/package-illustrations-wild-planet.html
I know a couple other people on the blog have done game and toy package illustration. Post some!
I'd be very interested to see some Kenner artwork, especially Super Powers.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, someone will have something in the archives. I have an amusing G I Joe package I did years ago. I should post it...
