Thurber Thursday: Simon Fieldhouse’s Thurber (And Thurber Dog) 3D Portrait

Simon Fieldhouse’s 3D Thurber Portrait (And Thurber Dog)

As noted here not too long ago, the artist Simon Fieldhouse has brought us various New Yorker 3D portraits over the past year (Eustace Tilley, Harold Ross, Peter Arno, Steinberg). His latest is James Thurber, along with a Thurber Dog(!):

Mr. Fieldhouse has told the Spill there are more New Yorker folks to come. I’ll be sure to post them here.

James Thurber’s A-Z Entry

James Thurber Born, Columbus, Ohio, December 8, 1894. Died 1961, New York City. New Yorker work: 1927 -1961, with several pieces run posthumously. According to the New Yorker’s legendary editor, William Shawn, “In the early days, a small company of writers, artists, and editors — E.B. White, James Thurber, Peter Arno, and Katharine White among them — did more to make the magazine what it is than can be measured.”

Key cartoon collection: The Seal in the Bedroom and Other Predicaments (Harper & Bros., 1932). Key anthology (writings & drawings): The Thurber Carnival (Harper & Row, 1945). There have been a number of Thurber biographies. Burton Bernstein’s Thurber (Dodd, Mead, 1975) and Harrison Kinney’s James Thurber: His Life and Times (Henry Holt & Co., 1995) are essential. Website
