Hermann Zapf (born November 8, 1918) is a German typeface designer who lives in Darmstadt, Germany. He is married to calligrapher and typeface designer Gudrun Zapf von Hesse.

Zapf's work, which includes Palatino and Optima, has been widely copied, often against his will. The best known example may be Monotype's Book Antiqua, which shipped with Microsoft Office and was widely considered a "knockoff" of Palatino. In 1993, Zapf resigned from ATypI (Association Typographique Internationale) over what he viewed as its hypocritical attitude toward unauthorized copying by prominent ATypI members. via Wikipedia

The artist's name is Richard Satava, a master glassblower who is based in Chico, California.

Richard Rothbard is a master woodworker, a successful businessman and gallery owner--his American Craftsman galleries represent over four hundred artists nationwide—and the originator of a unique style of intricately carved wooden puzzle boxes.

‎"Louis Wain was often held up as THE classic example of a schizophrenic artist. In the final years of his life, Wain's cats became more abstract and less whimsical. His once playful cats began to resemble fearsome, almost kaleidoscopic, Hindu deities. Many psychological textbooks feature drawings from various stages in the artist's career to show the progression of Wain's schizophrenia. It has been suggested more recently that he had Asperger's syndrome and visual agnosia as well"
