Illustrator Bob Daly

Have been looking at the illustrations of Bob Daly, after seeing his work today in the Boston Globe. His sweet, simple characters have great design, and show a lot of emotion and life. His child characters seem to always convey creativity and ingenuity and a sense of self-directedness, while his animal characters are delightful as companions or on their own.
His work made me instantly think of the work of classic Disney artist Mary Blair.
