Louis Macouillard was born on September 8, 1913, in San Francisco, California. Later on, he returned to San Francisco to work at the Velvetone Poster Company, as an
art director. While serving in the Navy he produced many artworks showcasing his travels, which he mailed to his fiancée, and which were then featured in a six-page spread and cover of the October 1943 issue of
Life (magazine). Macouillard designed two postage stamps, one of them being the commemorative 6¢ US postage stamp of
Daniel Boone issued in September 1968. In 1963 Macouillard designed a mosaic mural that adorns a
mid-century modern bank at 300 S. El Camino Real,
San Mateo, California. The mural was constructed by
Alfonso Pardiñas of Byzantine Mosaics. One of his etchings is featured in a scrapbook collage by artist
Xavier Martinez and is part of the permanent collection at the
Oakland Museum of California. == Personal ==
