Ameijide, Raymond Joseph (sold)
Raymond Joseph Ameijide (September 14, 1924 - January 11, 2000) was an American artist and graphic designer. Born in Newark, New Jersey, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Pratt Institute before serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. After the war, he became a graphic designer and multimedia commercial artist, and also married Irene Kipus, with whom he had four children. Ameijide illustrated for major publications like Fortune and National Geographic, as well as companies including TV Guide, IBM, and Pfizer. Ameijide won several prestigious awards throughout his career, in particular from the Society of Illustrators. However, he was perhaps best known for his paper bas-relief and felt three-dimensional creations, which were often featured in advertisements for his clients, particularly a series of caricatures of actors and television stars for TV Guide.
