Cover of the Saturday Evening Post, August 18, 1945, showing office workers playing poker after dark. Illustration by John Falter.
[From the editors of the August 18, 1945 issue:] Not long ago a contributor’s effort to replace his gaming losses brought us a story that otherwise wouldn’t have been written. But this week’s cover is the first time getting out from behind a poker eight-ball has paid off in art work for us. One night recently John Falter became embroiled in a “little game” at The Players, during the course of which he discovered that drawing to an inside straight was much less rewarding than drawing for Post Art Editor Ken Stuart. The game was dealer’s choice, so when Falter’s turn came he decreed a round of Artists and Models and transported the game to his studio. There Falter poker player gave way to Falter artist, and he settled down to making sketches of his friends working their way through stacks of blues and reds. That’s Falter with his back to the window. It’s the first time he’s ever put himself in a painting—with or without a pat hand.
Hey, you can refer to me as Perci/Val/Ink (she/he).
Sometimes the hyperfixation takes over causing a severe reblogging spree. I do a fuck ton of fanart here, so beware! I mainly draw and share my thoughts about stuff here.
I write on ao3 now! You can check out my work at @luvnotpercival on Archive Of Our Own and check out my work like:
Ananke's Keeper -> (From The Narcissist Cookbook's MYTH album, David Brownley works in the Anake Lighthouse on the island of St. Sasha, of the west coast of Scotland. After publishing his book, The Fairytales of St. Sasha, tales that he has gathered from people telling them by the shore, stories never supposed to be repeated again, he returns to the island, not sure why. But maybe these stories were meant to stay secret for a reason....)
