lead him on to the New Republic, Esquire, Look, and dozens more magazines

many different media and techniques, Karlins drawings and paintings
have been used to illustrate the very meaning of grace or the harsh reality
of want, age, poverty or humanity. Starting in the 1930s with pencil,
ink, tempera and oil, he has added pastel and ceramic to his media in the
last twenty years.
Eugene Karlin is now living and working in southern California near Laguna
Beach, which grew up in the late nineteenth century as a community of artists.
