Floyd MacMillan Davis (1896 - 1966)

or: Not a Famous Artist

“Like every illustrator who is worth his salt, his pictures are painted with imagination and honesty.  He manages to put excitement into them and impact and a differentness born of his own originality.  His style and approach are so original that they encourage imitators, and at the same time make the task of imitators insuperably difficult.  Davis has such a feeling for characterization that none of the people he draws are ordinary, and he is willing to lavish loving care upon a job and put all into it he feels it needs regardless of time and effort.” ~ Ernest W.
