Word Power

C. F. Payne artist-illustrator and designer of Reader's Digest back cover is known for his 'tradition-meets-technology' depictions, says "Word Power" is one of his favorites.

The artwork of C. F. Payne-perhaps America's best known contemporary illustrator-appears on the back cover of every issue of Reader's Digest.
It celebrates a slice of modern American life with provocative, relevant images of our culture.
Payne says of his favorite illustration, "Word Power", at the heart of this picture is his belief that "no gadget can compete with a good story". A 16x20 reproduction may be seen and purchased at the link below (see credit).
Thank you, C.F. Payne, for four years as designing artist for Reade's Digest back cover and for delighting readers with surprising snapshots of modern American life. "And to all, a Good Night" (Santa on a sleigh) was his last scene for Reader's Digest (see Dec.2007).

I look forward to our Readers Digest, chock full of interesting & informative reading I especially enjoy taking a quick peak at C.F.Paynes' depiction of Americana.
Reader's Digest will feature Payne's work from time to time. You may be able to view his gallery and purchase prints at at the link below (see credits).
