LANDACRE, Paul Hambleton (1893-1963). Wood engraver, illustrator. Born in Columbus, OH on July 9, 1893.

In 1926 he quit his job as a commercial artist to concentrate on printmaking. Landacre taught wood engraving at Otis Art Institute until his suicide on June 3, 1963.

LANDAKER, Harold Charles (1892-1966). Painter, ceramist. Born in Ohio on Dec. 12, 1892. Landaker studied at the AIC. At that school he met his wife-to-be, Mabel Holtz. For 15 years the couple were part of a circus. Harold painted posters and wagon carts as well as designing sets and costumes for the circus folks and animals. For awhile the couple managed the Fun House which must have been exciting for their two youngs sons. In 1940 Harold traveled to southern California to do posters for the Orange Show. Opting to remain, he joined the art department at MGM. In 1946 the family moved to the Monterey Peninsula and settled in Pacific Grove where they became active in the local art scene. With whimsical humor, Harold depicted animais, circus life, and birds; later in life he turned to landscape painting and was heavily involved with electronics. He died in Monterey, CA on Nov. 6, 1966. Member: Carmel AA. Murals: San Antonio (TX) City Hall; Pacific Grove Public Library. l] AAA 1925; AAW; Invw; Texas Painters (Powers).
