WAYLAND MOORE, AMERICAN (1935 - )
Since Wayland Moore has worked so effectively in the sports idiom, reference to him as an ""artistic triple threat"" would not be an inappropriate analogy. He has not only reached a height plateau of competency, he as received critical acclaim as an illustrator, cartoonist and painter.
As an illustrator, much in demand, he is one of the few Southerners belonging to the Society of Illustrators of New York. In 1967, his work for the Sarasota, Florida Herald-Tribune won him a nomination for a Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning.
After graduation from high school in Belton South Carolina where e received his first art training, Moore majored in commercial design at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida. Since graduation he has worked he has worked for a design house in Greenville, South Carolina as art director for an NBC-TV affiliate, art director for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and as senior illustrator with an Atlanta studio. In 1971 he opened Wayland Moore Studios which is located at Atlanta Stadium where Moore serves as graphics director for the Atlanta Braves, combining his career interests in art with his leisure time love of sports.
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize nomination, is a book consisting of his Florida Sketches, a front page cartoon that is included in the permanent collection of Walt Disney Studios in California, a scholarship offered in his name by the Ringling School of Art and a string of artistic assignments that have included coverage of the Indianapolis 500, PGA Golf Tournaments, Can-Am races and, perhaps the greatest spots hustle of all time, the Billie Jean King-Bobby Riggs tennis match in Houston's Astrodome.
An athlete who paints, Wayland Moore has achieved preeminence in the sports world through a multi-faceted background. A football player who turned down athletic scholarships to attend the Ringling School of Art. A Pulitzer prize nominee for editorial cartooning who became Graphics Director for a major league baseball team. But, most important, an artist with the ability to capture a moment without freezing it - the ability that only comes from having ""been there"" as an athlete.
A Printer’s Proof (PP) is similar to an artist’s proof. They were originally designed to monitor the progress of printing. They are a print or object that the manufacturer or printer receives as proof of their work. These copies are made in addition to the actual edition and are not intended for sale or included in the count of the edition. They remain in the archive of the printing house and can be submitted to other potential clients and artists as a work sample. However, it is customary for the manufacturer to release their PPs for sale in the event of a complete sale of the print run or on special request.
Instead of stating the number of the sheet within the edition, the printer’s proofs contain the note PP and possibly a numbering with Roman or Arabic numerals. The number of PPs in addition to the regular edition is up to the artist. Usually there are one or two PPs. In any case, the number is determined from the outset and cannot be supplemented afterwards.
