  1. Is it Olle Eksell by chance? A friend of mine was just showing me one of his books the other day. Lots of Bodoni with Paul Rand-ish playfulness.

  5. Neither Anne Rand nor Ayn Rand. This will take some digging.

  7. Sorry. No correct answers yet. This is indeed difficult. It is someone I do not know much about. But having seen more of her work, I'd like to know more.

    Let's see. She did a lot of work in the 60s and 70s including some magazine covers for a left of center publication.

  11. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!. Janet Halverson it is. I do not know much about her but she did produce a lot of covers and seems to be a link between 60s/Pushpin/C&G and 70s/Paul Bacon. She also did a ton of Harper's covers in the 1960s. Here's a link to some more work: http://bit.ly/fqjGRm

    Anyone know anything else about her?
