Till Goodan (1896-1958)
is considered to be the benchmark of Western Era authenticity.
Goodan, originally from Colorado, spent his youth as a
calf roper, packing mules and running pack trains, as
a cowboy. He broke horses and competed in local rodeos
riding saddle broncs. During the quiet hours Goodan drew
pictures portraying ranch life and the thrill of rodeo.
Goodan's artistic skills were soon noticed and in 1917,
he left the rodeo to pursue his art. Goodan used oils,
watercolors, and pencils to depict the Old West. Till
Goodan's work spans almost every medium.

Till Goodan led a prestigious life. Among other
things, Goodan served as the Art Director for the
Richfield Oil Company. He drew the Gene Autry Comic
Books. He designed four separate and highly prized
sets of dinnerware produced by Wallace China: Pioneer
Trails, Longhorn, Boots and Saddles, and Rodeo.
Indeed, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Bing Crosby
owned "Rodeoware" and all 4 sets are valuable
collectibles today. Goodan enjoyed his western lifestyle
until the day he died. In May 1958, Goodan gave
way to a heart attack while sitting on his horse.
