The Society of Illustrators has announced the 2024 inductees into their prestigious Hall of Fame. In recognition for their “distinguished achievement in the art of illustration” the artists are chosen based on their body of work and the significant impact it has made on the field of illustration as a whole. This year’s honorees are Virginia Frances Sterrett [1900 – 1931], Robert Grossman [1940 – 2018], Gustave Doré [1832 – 1883], Yuko Shimizu [b. 1946], Muddy Colors’ own Gregory Manchess [b. 1955], and Steve Brodner [b. 1954].
The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held on Thursday, September 26th, 2024 at the SoI’s historic carriage house headquarters in New York City. Information for how to attend will be available at the Society’s official website.

Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees!
Congratulations to Gregory Manchess, a well deserved honor! The Society of Illustrators only just now inducted Gustave Doré, one of the greatest illustrators of all time? Crazy.
Sometimes the obvious seems to be hiding in plain sight I guess. The SoI started their Hall of Fame in 1958 and you can see everyone that has been inducted so far at the bottom of the page here: https://societyillustrators.org/hall-of-fame/
Very pleased to learn of Greg Manchess’s induction into the Hall of Fame. Still lusting for a high production retrospective collection of his work, hopefully designated “volume 1” (more work to come).
Me, too! At least 50 pages alone could be devoted to his Louis L’Amour covers. And then there are all the Hard Case Crime covers…
Congratulations to Gregory Manchess, always inspiring and encouraging with his amazing art and words of wisdom! 🙂
Congratulations Greg…. well deserved!!

The well-meant caricature by Steve Brodner is so lovely.
Congratulations to him and to Gregory Manchess!
