#Ellen Clapsaddle

[crisp-autumnal-air]

Ellen H. Clapsaddle (1865?-1934), an American artist born in New York state. During the golden age of postcards in the early 20th century, holiday-themed greetings were all the rage and Clapsaddle became one of the genre’s most prolific artists. Close to 2,000 postcards have been attributed to Clapsaddle.

The front of this postcard from the early 1900s presents an embossed illustration by iconic card artist Ellen H. Clapsaddle, complete with an articulated arm.

I love your art! Who are some of the people that inspired your style?

Oh man right now? Let's check the ole pinterest....

Postcard and paper good artists and illustrators from the 1880s-1910s are the big one. 

I don't know many by name off the top of my head save for Ellen H. Clapsaddle because of how prolific her Halloween designs are.

Then I've been turning to Charles Dana Gibson, Frank Godwin, Joseph Clement Coll, and Franklin Booth for inking inspiration along with many others....

Heinrich Kley and Hayao Miyazaki are probably the only artists that have consistently been sources of inspiration for me (Miyazaki since I was a kid and Kley since high school) 

As for friends and peeps online, these folks inspire all the time:

Okay can we have a moment of appreciation for Ellen Claremont, who was a divorced female president with two biracial children. And when one of them came out to her as bisexual in the year of her re-election, her only response was "is that it? Just make him sign a contract". Like the fact it was the Prince of Wales aside, Ellen was up against a straight, white man. She knew that because of her family situation and gender she was already at risk yet NO PART of her even thought about how her son's sexuality could hurt her chances even more. She just was glad he came out and wanted him to be with who makes him happy.
