Norman Baxter

American, (1918–1998)
Norman Baxter, born Clearfield, Iowa; educated in Chicago. As a boy he liked to draw & never seriously considered any other vocation other than art. Served six years in the Army, four as a pilot in Air Corps in the Pacific Theater, where he was stationed when WWII began at Pearl Harbor. Moved to Houston in 1949 and began career as an artist. Worked for corporations and freelanced, but since 1957 he worked as an illustrator at the studio of Baxter & Korge, Inc. Houston. In drawing for the book, "A Line on Texas," he said,... "I've included the Texas of yesterday, because our past is important. And I've included the Texas of today, because it's important to know where you are."

Norman Baxter was a commercial artist/illustrator in Houston in the 1960s. His book, A Line on Texas, includes 160 black-and-white drawings of sites all over Texas. His drawings graced many of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Yellow Pages. Original drawings were made using India ink and a constant-weight pen which is similar to a ball-point pen. Drawings included extreme detail and were not without humor, as he included many anomalous items in the SWBTYPs cover drawings. Norman Baxter was one of the founders of and a partner in the commercial art agency called "Baxter and Korge". B&K's clients included NASA and the Houston Natural Gas Corporation, later to become ENRON.
