Usually I tend to just shuffle around filling the trolley with a selection
 of necessities and luxuries until everything on my list is crossed off. 
Then go through the checkout and pay.

At the best gigs, however, I end up getting on a plane. 
Artists have made these gigs a lot more dynamic in recent years by 
introducing random security checks. I invariably demand to be searched 
by a female guard, which tends to add a little frisson to the proceedings....

Arthur Rackham was born September 19, 1867, in London, England. He studied at the Lambeth School of Art, was elected to membership in The Royal Watercolour Society and the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, and became Master of the Art Workers' Guild. Books he illustrated included Rip van Winkle (1905), The Ingoldsby Legends (1906), Alice in Wonderland (1907), and many other children's books and classics throughout the years until his death in 1939. His last work, for The Wind in the Willows, was published posthumously. He won gold medals at Milan (1906) and Barcelona (1911), and his books and original art are now collected in many countries throughout the world.

"In imagination, draftsmanship and colour-blending, his work stands alone. His deep understanding of the spirit of myth, fable, and folklore affords him a transcendent range of expression." [Arthur Rackham, a Bibliography, by Sarah Briggs Latimore and Grace Clark Haskell, Los Angeles, Suttonhouse, 1936]

Rackham has been called "the leading decorative illustrator of the Edwardian period.... We see him.... in 1905 at the outset of twenty years of the most prolific and prosperous creative work ever enjoyed by an English illustrator." [Arthur Rackham, His Life and Work, by Derek Hudson, Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1960]

"Rackham's illustrations to Grimm, Hans Andersen or Poe show him at his most imaginative and observant of human nature, while his gnomes, fairies and gnarled anthropomorphic trees in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens or A Midsummer Night's Dream represent his more fantastic side.... He was - and remains - a soloist in front of an orchestra, a player with the responsibility to interpret and add a personal lustre to great works with variations of infinite subtlety and grace." [Arthur Rackham: A Life with Illustration, by James Hamilton, Pavilion Books, Ltd., London, 1990; published in New York by Arcade Publishing, Inc. as Arthur Rackham, A Biography]
