John’s trunk is really a USMC footlocker. As a young Marine, he was selected as staff artist for Marine publications in San Diego with an offer to do the same work in Washington DC. He later developed a thriving career as a medical illustrator. His joys were competitive sailing, his Ferrari, and trains – both model and real. At one time he owned his own railway motor car outfitted with Western Pacific Railroad graphics. His work and dedication to high standards is still recognized by The Pasadena Model Railroad Club. John’s illustrations and graphic design are both the objects and inspiration for many of the items we have for you today. OpenTrunkMercantile.Etsy.com
