American illustrator Norman Rockwell was best known for the many Saturday Evening Post magazine covers he created between 1916 and 1963. He specialized in warm, humorous, often sentimental scenes of everyday small-town life. These were drawn with a wealth of meaningful detail. His triple self-portrait is intriguing on several levels. The face looking back at us from the mirror looks anxious and somewhat comical. It has a drooping pipe and blank reflections for eyes. The Rockwell on the easel appears younger, more handsome and jaunty. It is without glasses with pipe firmly clenched in its teeth. Perhaps the real Norman Rockwell is the third figure—with his back to us. Self-portraits by Dürer, Rembrandt, Picasso, and Van Gogh are tacked to the upper right corner of his easel. He may be suggesting that “painters” can show themselves as they look, feel, or imagine they are. But “illustrators” rarely depict themselves—and, when they do, aren’t sure where they fit in the art world.

What is your question?
I am an illustrator and have no idea what your point is.

Why would an illustrator put themselves in an illustration...

When I do fine art, I do self portraits sometimes....
Illustration is illustrating something.. not expressing myself in the same sense.
