Thank you for this beautiful and vulnerable piece. I hadn't heard of Domenico Gnoli, Anna Weyant, and Andy Dixon before. I find it heartbreaking that artists who engage in commercial practices to support themselves are often seen as outsiders or somewhat less 'serious'. I wonder if those who resented their commercial activities did so because they genuinely disliked creating posters or illustrations, or because they feared it would 'damage' their reputation. Returning to Gnoli, I like how you connected his art, Mad Men, and your own life. This is the beauty and meaning of art (at least for me)—when it comes so close that it can be embedded in our own web of references.

Gnoli is a great find.
He really is!
