Luckily for those of us who knew and loved him, as well as his many fans and admirers, he left behind a large body of work, including covers for The New Yorker, celebrity portraits featured in Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times, and posters for dozens of Broadway musicals and plays.<\/p>\n<p>Robert had a wicked, dry sense of humor and would frequently fax over (this was MANY years ago) doodles and cartoons commenting on daily interactions with his friends. One day in the summer of 1996, I was telling Bob about one of my recent make-do finds, when moments later, this cartoon came through on my fax machine.<\/p>\n<p>This drawing, and several others Bob created for me, are wonderful reminders of his friendship and talent. Although I still miss him everyday, a quick glance at his artwork assures me that his spirit will always be with me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12543\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12543\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12543\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bob.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bob.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bob-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert de Michiell was not only an immensely talented illustrator and theatrical poster designer, he was a dear friend,\u00a0who sadly passed away in 2015 at the young age of 57.
