Really incredible 1940 tempra paint & gouache illustration done by EMD industrial designer Paul Meyer of the EMD FT demonstrator scheme.
What an INDREDIBLE illustration style too, the reflections and highlights are especially beautiful.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
