ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST: Stick, Frank Leonardby David Stick, 199410 Feb. 1884–12 Nov. 1966

Frank Leonard Stick, artist, author, conservationist, and developer, was born in Huron, S.Dak., the son of David L., a banker and merchant, and Lydia Jane Marcellus Stick. He attended public schools in Huron and later in Oglesby, Ill., where the family moved in 1899, and as a teenager he was expected to do his share of the work in the family store. But young Stick was much more interested in the outdoors than in the confinement of the mercantile business and spent as much of his time as possible hunting, fishing, and camping. Always a keen observer of detail in the things he saw around him, and inquisitive by nature, he began making sketches of the animals and birds he saw in the woods around Oglesby, thus demonstrating at an early age an exceptional natural talent for painting.

Encouraged by his parents in his pursuit of a career as an artist, he moved to Chicago in his late teens in order to secure some basic instruction in painting and sold his first illustration toSports Afieldmagazine when he was nineteen. Later he received a coveted invitation to study in Wilmington, Del., under the famed illustratorHoward Pyle, sharing one of Pyle\'s studios withN. C. Wyeth. During this period he developed specialized techniques in the field of outdoor illustration, and for the next quarter of a century his paintings appeared regularly in theSaturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal, Country Gentleman, St. Nicholas, Field and Stream, and other periodicals, including numerous covers forOutdoor Life. In addition, he painted many calendars, almost invariably scenes of hunting, fishing, and canoeing. Many people knew him best for his paintings of dogs, and over a period of more than a decade he produced dozens of illustrations for the popular short stories of Albert Payson Terhune. Stick was both an avid conservationist and a hunter, and an irony of his attitudes and of his artwork was that at the same time as he was illustrating shooting scenes for the calendars of major manufacturers of arms and ammunition, he was also turning out widely used paintings, without pay, for theAnti-Vivisection League of America.

He wrote numerous articles on the outdoors for national magazines, served for a brief time as editor ofField and Stream, and was coauthor, with Van Campen Heilner, of an early book on surf fishing,The Call of the Surf, which he also illustrated. With other Howard Pyle students he established an informal artists\' colony in Interlaken, on the New Jersey coast. Stick was elected the first mayor of the borough of Interlaken in 1922.

An avid fisherman, he was a close friend and frequent fishing companion ofZane Greyand illustrated some of Grey\'s books. One of their trips together in the mid-1920s was to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in quest of channel bass, and Stick was so impressed with the area that he began acquiring extensiveOuter Banksproperty holdings. In 1929, having tired of producing a steady flow of illustrations-on-order for magazine and calendar publication, he moved his family to Skyco, on Roanoke Island, put aside his brushes and paints, and for fifteen years concentrated on making a living from house construction, real estate, and other activities entirely unrelated to his profession as an artist. At the same time he worked for the orderly development of the Outer Banks as well as the preservation of its natural resources.

In 1933 Stick conceived and for nearly two decades promoted the establishment of a national park on the Outer Banks, and as secretary of theCape Hatteras National Seashore Commissionhe secured donations of extensive landholdings that formed the nucleus for the nation\'s first national seashore recreational area. An integral part of his plan for a national seashore park on the coast was the stabilization of the fragile sandbanks, and towards this end he designed and supervised the construction and installation of the first sand fences erected on the barren beach and the planting of beach grasses and other vegetation. By the late 1930s more than 4,000 men, including members of theCivilian Conservation Corps, transient laborers, and local WPA work forces were engaged in this work along the Outer Banks.

In the early 1940s his interest again turned to art. Having worked previously only in oils, he began experimenting with other mediums, including sculpture and water-colors. A self-trained ichthyologist, he was called on frequently by local commercial fishermen to identify unusual species, and he began making watercolor sketches of these as he identified them. This led to a major project, which occupied much of his time for more than a decade, in which he planned to produce a series of accurate and lifelike watercolors of East Coast fish. When the work was completed in the mid-1950s, he had produced paintings of nearly three hundred fish, but his plan to put these in book form during his lifetime did not materialize.

In 1947 he began the development of the community of Southern Shores near Kitty Hawk, dividing his work load between real estate and construction activities and painting in his studio there. During the winter months he headed south, spending considerable time on the Florida Keys, on the Isle of Pines, and in the Virgin Islands. In the 1950s Stick was instrumental in the establishment of theVirgin Islands National Park.

During the last ten years of his life he worked extensively in watercolor. More than seventy-five of these paintings, mostly seascapes, are preserved at theOuter Banks History Centerin Manteo, along with approximately fifty nine illustrations that appeared in two books written by his son,Graveyard of the AtlanticandThe Outer Banks of North Carolina.

In 1908 Stick married Ada Maud Hayes, of Wilmington, Del., an artists\' model. They had two children, Charlotte Stick McMullan (1909–69) and David.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS:PLEASE MISTER HAVE YOU SEEN OUR DOG - VETERINARIAN

Lifeis an American magazine published weekly from 1883 to 1972, as an intermittent \"special\" until 1978, a monthly from 1978 until 2000, and an online supplement since 2008.During its golden age from 1936 to 1972,Lifewas a wide-ranging weekly general-interest magazine known for the quality of itsphotography, and was one of the nation\'s most popular magazines, regularly reaching one-quarter of the population.

Lifewas published independently for its first 53 years until 1936 as a general-interest andlight entertainmentmagazine, heavy on illustrations, jokes, and social commentary. It featured some of the most important writers, editors, illustrators and cartoonists of its time:Charles Dana Gibson,Norman RockwellandJacob Hartman Jr. Gibson became the editor and owner of the magazine afterJohn Ames Mitchelldied in 1918. During its later years, the magazine offered brief capsule reviews (similar to those inThe New Yorker) of plays and movies running in New York City, but with the innovative touch of a colored typographic bullet resembling a traffic light, appended to each review: green for a positive review, red for a negative one, and amber for mixed notices.

In 1936,TimepublisherHenry LuceboughtLifesolely for its title, and greatly redesigned the publication.LIFE(stylized inall caps) became the first all-photographic American news magazine, and it dominated the market for several decades, with a circulation peaking at over 13.5 million copies a week. One striking image published in the magazine wasAlfred Eisenstaedt\'sphotograph of a nurse in a sailor\'s arms, taken on August 14, 1945, during aVJ-Daycelebration in New York\'sTimes Square. The magazine\'s role in the history of photojournalism is considered its most important contribution to publishing. Its prestige attracted thememoirsof PresidentHarry S. Truman, Prime MinisterWinston Churchill, and GeneralDouglas MacArthur, all serialized in its pages.

After 2000,Time Inc.continued to use theLifebrand for special and commemorative issues.Lifereturned to regularly scheduled issues as a weekly newspaper supplement from 2004 to 2007.The website life.com, originally one of the channels on Time Inc.\'sPathfinderservice, was for a time in the late 2000s managed as a joint venture withGetty Imagesunder the nameSee Your World, LLC.On January 30, 2012, the Life.com URL became a photo channel on Time.com.

Lifewas founded on January 4, 1883, in a New York City artist\'s studio at 1155 Broadway, as a partnership betweenJohn Ames MitchellandAndrew Miller. Mitchell held a 75% interest in the magazine with the remaining 25% held by Miller. Both men retained their holdings until their deaths.Miller served as secretary-treasurer of the magazine and managed the business side of the operation. Mitchell, a 37-year-old illustrator who used a $10,000 inheritance to invest in the weekly magazine, served as its publisher. He also created the firstLifename-plate withcupidsas mascots and later on, drew its masthead of a knight leveling his lance at the posterior of a fleeing devil. Then he took advantage of a new printing process using zinc-coated plates, which improved the reproduction of his illustrations and artwork. This edge helped becauseLifefaced stiff competition from the best-selling humor magazinesJudgeandPuck, which were already established and successful.Edward Sandford Martinwas brought on asLife\'s first literary editor; the recentHarvard Universitygraduate was a founder of theHarvard Lampoon.

The motto of the first issue ofLifewas: \"While there\'s Life, there\'s hope.\"

The magazine was a success and soon attracted the industry\'s leading contributors,of which the most important wasCharles Dana Gibson. Three years after the magazine was founded, theMassachusettsnative first soldLifea drawing for $4: a dog outside his kennel howling at the Moon. Encouraged by a publisher, also an artist, Gibson was joined inLifeearly days by illustrators such asPalmer Cox(creator of theBrownie),A. B. Frost,Oliver HerfordandE. W. Kemble.Life\'s literary roster included the following:John Kendrick Bangs,James Whitcomb RileyandBrander Matthews.

Mitchell was accused ofanti-Semitismat a time of high rates of immigration to New York of eastern EuropeanJews. When the magazine blamed the theatrical team ofKlaw & Erlangerfor Chicago\'sIroquois Theater Firein 1903, many people complained.Life\'sdrama critic,James Stetson Metcalfe, was barred from the 47 Manhattan theatres controlled by theTheatrical Syndicate.Lifepublished caricatures of Jews with large noses.

Several individuals would publish their first major works inLife. In 1908Robert Ripleypublished his first cartoon inLife, 20 years before hisBelieve It or Not!fame.Norman Rockwell\'s first cover forLifemagazine,Tain\'t You, was published May 10, 1917. His paintings were featured onLife\'scover 28 times between 1917 and 1924.Rea Irvin, the first art director ofThe New Yorkerand creator of the character \"Eustace Tilley\", began his career by drawing covers forLife.

This version ofLifetook sides in politics and international affairs, and published pro-American editorials. AfterGermanyattackedBelgiumin 1914, Mitchell and Gibson undertook a campaign to push the U.S. into the war. Gibson drew theKaiseras a bloody madman, insultingUncle Sam, sneering at crippled soldiers, and shootingRed Crossnurses.

Following Mitchell\'s death in 1918, Gibson bought the magazine for $1 million, but the end ofWorld War Ihad brought on social change.Life\'sbrand of humor was outdated, as readers wanted more daring and risque works, andLifestruggled to compete. A little more than three years after purchasingLife, Gibson quit and turned the decaying property over to publisherClair Maxwelland treasurerHenry Richter. Gibson retired toMaineto paint and lost interest in the magazine.

In 1920, Gibson selected formerVanity FairstafferRobert E. Sherwoodas editor. AWWIveteran and member of theAlgonquin Round Table, Sherwood tried to inject sophisticated humor onto the pages.LifepublishedIvy Leaguejokes, cartoons,flappersayings and all-burlesque issues. Beginning in 1920,Lifeundertook a crusade againstProhibition. It also tapped the humorous writings ofFrank Sullivan,Robert Benchley,Dorothy Parker,Franklin Pierce AdamsandCorey Ford. Among the illustrators and cartoonists wereRalph Barton,Percy Crosby,Don Herold,Ellison Hoover,H. T. Webster,Art YoungandJohn Held, Jr.

Lifehad 250,000 readers in 1920,but as theJazz Agerolled into theGreat Depression, the magazine lost money and subscribers. By the time Maxwell and editorGeorge Egglestontook over,Lifehad switched from publishing weekly to monthly. The two men went to work revamping its editorial style to meet the times, which resulted in improved readership. However,Lifehad passed its prime and was sliding toward financial ruin.The New Yorker, debuting in February 1925, copied many of the features and styles ofLife; it recruited staff from its editorial and art departments. Another blow toLife\'scirculation came from raunchy humor periodicals such asBallyhooandHooey, which ran what can be termed \"outhouse\" gags. In 1933,EsquirejoinedLife\'scompetitors. In its final years,Lifestruggled to make a profit.

Announcing the end ofLife, Maxwell stated: \"We cannot claim, like Mr.Gene Tunney, that we resigned our championship undefeated in our prime. But at least we hope to retire gracefully from a world still friendly.\" Lifewas an American magazine of humor, commentary, and entertainment founded by John Ames Mitchell in the 19th century. (He also edited it for the majority of its run, until his death.). Lifebegan in 1883. No issue copyright renewals were found for this serial. The first copyright-renewed contribution is from June 14, 1929. In 1936, the magazine was bought by Henry Luce of Time, Inc., who launched a new magazine with the same name but completely different staff and subscription base.
