Biography - Taken From Art and Industry Vol 22 Jan-June 1937 TC. W. BACON, artist of the animal and bird drawings for Esso which appeared during last year, and much other attractive work, is now 31. A year at Hastings Art School, two years apprenticeship in a commercial art studio, two years learning the day-to-day difficulties of advertising in an agency, have been his groundwork. Since then he has worked as free-lance, for some time through R. P. Gossop, whose encouragement and guidance he gratefully acknowledges. His designs are varied ranging from the careful and naturalistic pen-and-ink technique of his animals to the impersonal design of a trade-mark. Some of his best illustrations have been done for The Radio Times and are reproduced here, black scraper-board being the basis of the technique. In designing book jackets he does not find it helps to express the feeling a book gives one, as personal reactions to the story may differ widely, but that it is better to keep to a subject that is in effect an illustration. As a commercial artist he approaches each selling problem from the point of view of that problem rather from that of his own designing. This accounts for his versatility of handling which gives the impression of all-round capability.
