Fantastic interview. Inspiring and informative.
Thanks very much, Anne. Glad you enjoyed hearing from Murray.
What an interesting man with a lot to say. And I have to agree with Mr. Tinkelman, you are a good interviewer. Bless his heart for acknowledging that.
Thank you, Beth. I do my very best. Thanks for listening.
Dear Thomas, I jsut finished listening to your audio interview with Murray Tinkleman. It was one of the most informative overview testimonials to where illustration has been, working as an illustrator and and where illustration is headed. I would love to talk to you by phone.
Best, Lynn Pauley

I just love this interview. Murray’s voice is so “grandpapy” :))
Great interview.
Thank you for doing this podcast. Murray Tinkelman was the department chair of Parsons School of Design when I was there. (Peter deSeve who he mentioned was a classmate of mine)
He interviewed me wearing a T-shirt and cut off shorts and a baseball cap, if I recall. I remember his wonderful History of Illustration class and his infectious enthusiasm.
It was great to hear him talk about illustration past and present.
Thanks for this wonderful interview. Murray is a legend in the field, and a cornucopia of information for others. Young illustrators who feel the business is a roller coaster ride today should gain some real perspective from Murray’s discussion of the ebb and flow of great institutions such as Cooper Studios, or how Murray’s role as an illustrator evolved.
Thanks very much for your comment, David. This is one of my favorite episodes, for sure.
Great interview. I believe it gets cut off at the end, but none-the-less, fantastic. The only thing I didn’t agree with was that the academic setting is the only way to access the illustration pros. I believe many of them are available via the internet. So you don’t necessarily have to be in a school environment to learn from the masters.
