    If the name Gary Baseman doesn’t ring a bell, there’s still a good chance you’ve been exposed to his work. Throughout the 1990s, his art was all but ubiquitous, with his illustrations appearing in magazines such as The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and The Wall Street Journal, and he also created advertisements for brands such as AT&T, Gatorade, and Nike.
