Meet illustrator Bill Nelson
At one time or another Bill Nelson's rich, beautifully detailed color pencil illustrations have appeared on the pages of most of the major publications I can think of. But they are by no means the whole story. Bill also has a passion for 3D work--ventriloquist figures, dolls, masks, and so on.
I've known Bill for many years and just caught back up with him recently. It recalled several times when I had the privilege of sitting in his studio and watching him work his magic on paper. It's great to see all the wonderful work he has produced in recent years.

Wow. Thanks for the post. I had the rare opportunity to take a night class in illustration taught by Bill in the spring of 1976. He's a wonderful teacher, and he opened my eyes to the possibility of graphic design. He's a superb craftsman and a good man.
