Along with many artists of his generation, Rudy Wendelin took work with the federal government during this period. While most of the artists in federal projects returned to their own private careers, Wendelin would spend his life as an artist for the U.S. Forest Service. He was the principal artist behind the popular figure of Smokey Bear and designed several commemorative postage stamps.
