The art of Mel Crawford from Rootie Kazootie Baseball Star Vintage Illustrated Book from 1954

A look at the artwork of Illustrator Mel Crawford from the 1954 book Rootie Kazootie Baseball Star

When I'm out looking for vintage illustrated books to add to my collection there are certain artists whose artwork I love! And one of them is Mel Crawford.

Here is an issue I found of a book he did for Golden Books from 1954 for the character Rootie Kazootie. Rootie Kazootie was a 1950s children's television show The Rootie Kazootie Club and featured human actors along with hand puppets.

Mel Crawford was a Canadian-American children's book illustrator and comics artist. He drew horror and fantasy comics for Western Publishing but is best known for adapting various child-oriented media into beautiful children's books.

Mel Crawford worked as an artist for various different film and TV companies and made books starring some of the most popular fictional characters of the 20th century, from Disney and Hanna-Barbera to Jim Henson Productions.

Mel Crawford worked as an animator at Disney in the 1950s but felt that illustrating children's books and record covers suited him better.

I really just love his style of artwork.

And of course the classic version of the back cover for Golden Books during this time period.

This cost me $300? Thrifting Day Trip - Tom Ray's Day Vlog

My weekend adventure looking for vintage and pop-culture stuff to collect.

On the weekends I go to estate sales to find vintage and retro things to sell online. 

Sometimes I end up traveling to other towns to do this. 

This time I spend over $200 bucks on a haul before even leaving town. Then I travel an hour and a half away and find some of the coolest vintage toys, illustrated books and games for my collection. 

I also tell some stories about a guy that got upset that I took all the illustrated children's books.

From the video

Started out at a sale in a house out in the suburbs.

I did not expect to clean out a whole closet full of books.

Still needed to travel to the place we were actually planning to go to in the first place that was in a town we couldn't remember the name of an hour and a half away. 

An hour and a half later...

The place only opens like one weekend a month. It used to be a restaurant and bar and has a huge skylight.

I was surrounded by even more vintage toys and illustrated books!

Then drove back home to take a look at all the stuff that I picked up. Watch the video and see me get really excited about spending $300 bucks!

See the whole day in the video at the top of this post!

No good estate sales today. So.. Improvising - Tom Ray's Day 210702

Tag along while I look for vintage items for my online retro resale business. Estate sales, vintage stores, and releasing music.

On the weekends I go to estate sales to find vintage and retro things to sell online. Sometimes I end up traveling to other towns to do this but there weren't any that looked good. So went to a few in town that were kind of a bust. So I improvised. See what I got!

Later I go to the studio.

Also my band Lorenzo's Music was getting ready to release a new single so I stop out at my studio.

Check out the song "Variation witch" here

About this Vlog

This is a video of my daily life since I decided to sell collectibles and pop-culture items I collect on eBay to help support my art career instead of taking on freelance work.
