Paul R. Williams Illustration / Black History Art Print

This is a print of my illustration of Paul R. Williams, the first Black member of the American Institute of Architects. He was an outstanding draftsman, and had the skill of rendering drawings upside down. He developed the skill so that his white clients (who might have been uncomfortable sitting next to a black architect) could see his drawings right side up across the table from him. Williams designed over 2,000 homes, including the homes of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz, and Frank Sinatra. He also designed buildings such as Theme Building at the Los Angeles International Airport, the Los Angeles County Courthouse, and redesigned the Beverly Hills Hotel.

This is the perfect small gift for the Paul R. Williams fan, the architecture enthusiast, or the person who just wants a piece of Black history art to put on their wall.

Using photographs as reference, I illustrated this digitally using Adobe Photoshop and my trusty Wacom drawing tablet. I print it here at my home studio and it currently comes in three print sizes: 5 x 7 inch (12.7 x 17.8 cm), 8 x 10 inches (20.3 x 25.4 cm) and 11 x 14 inches (27.9 x 35.6 cm). Every size is on bright white, medium weight paper.
