Illustrator Charles Kerins preferred to work from live models. His studio was on Buttonwood Lane in Scituate, Massachusetts. He worked in the same studio for over 30 year. Of course he got to know the local people very well. He used many local Scituate models who enjoyed assisting him. One of his favorite boy models was Mark Goddard who would latter appear in the TV series 'Lost in Space'. Richard Murphy waa another one of Kerins' favorite boy models. Richard was apparently quite an accomplished model. He had the ability to
easily come up with the precise expression Kerins asked him to model. As a result, Richard appeared in quite a number of the ads and magazine covers Kerins created. As well as live modekling sessions, Kerins used a Speed Graphic and a Polaroid camera to photograph his subjects. He would then work from these photographs as well life drawings to create his illustrations and paintings.
