| General info : | | Doug Johnson (born in Toronto, Canada ) is a Canadian-born, American illustrator and graphic artist.
Doug Johnson was born and raised in Toronto where he had done some fashion illustration as well as editorial work, before pulling stakes and moving to New York in 1968. Doug quickly found work, but eventually tired of his style and wanted to experiment with a new look for which he later became famous.
In the 60s, 70s and 80s he illustrated music album covers, magazines, posters and advertisements. Since the late 1970s he has primarily focused his creativity on theater related work - posters, graphics, scenic design and executive production management.
In 1974 he was hired to create an image for a a theatrical production of Leonard Bernstein's Candide in Brooklyn.
He continued working with this production company throughout the decade, eventually becoming a partner, and then forming Dodger Theatricals, which produced Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, for which Doug designed posters, print advertising, and sets, including Ain't Misbehavin', The Big Boat and Tommy.
Some of his last "straight" illustration jobs were a remarkable series of album covers for Judas Priest in the 1980s. | |
