More Bart Art :)

Hello!

As promised, here's more "Bart Art":

A drawing of Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick from a 1950's "Eras-O-Picture" coloring book:


Next, here's some very interesting artwork! It's not only Bart art, but Matt Dillon (James Arness), Lucas McCain (Chuck Connors), Chris Hale (John McIntire) and Paladin (Richard Boone) art, too! It's from the cover of a 1962 newspaper TV supplement:


A close-up of a somewhat disheveled Paladin glancing warily at Matt Dillon's gun while holding a card with Bart on it (and, yes, the card is a jack! :>):


 I believe the portrait of Bart on the card is based on the 1958 drawing done to promote the United Appeal tour, which appeared in the previous "Bart Art" post.

Finally, here's a wonderful sketch of JK as Bart created in 1986 by Armand Polverari (1944-2015), an artist known for his pen-and-ink portraits of Roy Rogers and other western stars. Mr. Polverari signed his work as "Mondo", which can be seen on Bart's left lapel:


Well, that's all for right now, but there'll be more "Bart Art" in a future TDS. In the meantime, please stay tuned for more about JK, stay well and please "Love one another" (John 13:34).
