Charles Santore was my dad’s first cousin.. His mom gave my firstborn daughter a copy of The Wizard of Oz.. What Amazing talent this man had. I wish I could’ve gotten to know him better. Rest peacefully, Charles.

Great little video on Mr. Santore and his work. I had the pleasure of meeting him at his studio and he certainly lived up to my expectations. He was one of the biggest influences in my own work and I continuously think of advice he gave me that day . Thanks for this video.

Such a talented man!
Sorry to hear Charles is no more :(

Truly, he was an underrated artist.
May he rest well among his sleep, and may the afterlife he ought to of faced look indistinguishable to that of the beautiful magic and the enrapturing pulchritude of his beloved illustrations.
