David Kimble in Doc on Marfa, TX

Master technical illustrator David Kimble makes a cameo in this mini-documentary about Marfa, Texas. This has me wishing for a full-length documentary on the prolific artist himself.

    This is great to see Kimble in Texas. Back in the day I went to his studio in Glendale, CA to meet him and discuss possible work. When I walked in it was more of a warehouse than a studio with expensive motorcycles scattered among stacks of papers and antiques shoulder high. I found his desk at the back carved out in a space large enough just for him to work. He was pretty critical of my work giving me a verbal engineering test on the spot. I didn’t do so well I fear. He rolled up a Corvette poster and said to come back when I learned a thing or two. A totally great experience!

    Wow, that sounds utterly humbling and amazing at the same time.

    that’s awesome Jim. Marfa looks like a nice place.
    Would love to see a documentary on the master illustrators.

    Or if Escape from Illustration Island or one of the other illustration podcasts that exist now would interview a technical illustrator for once that would be great.

    Actually, I’ve been thinking a podcaster should interview James, Clint, etc. contributors about creating this site as well as about technical illustration.

    Thanks for the post.
