Norman Rockwell is a very famous painter of humorous American life. The media he worked with was oil paints; it was amazing the detail he could paint with this inarticulate media. His works show vignettes of American life during the early to mid-twentieth century. He illustrated The Saturday Evening Post for 47 consecutive years, painting a classic American scene every week.
His self-portrait is nearly a caricature, showing him looking into a mirror over his canvas, with a pipe in his mouth, and I think a dog lying at his feet.
Another famous painting shows a group of boys racing to the lake in the woods, stripping their clothes and shoes as they run, dog racing alongside excitedly, the sign in the background, "No swimming." Every painting is filled with details that increase the humor of the scene.

Norman Rockwell is an American illustrator. I don't think illustrators have to have a style like the fine arts did cause he obviously did not belong under the art styles of that time ( which i think was like Dada, maybe Futurism in the early stages, and surrealism). I think he just drew what he needed to, that told a story and felt was touching for adverts which often is what illustration is trying to do. He often painted the idealized American life but later on he also did some pieces that were more serious like his piece The Problem We All Live With which showed school racial integration. Norman Rockwell's paintings are in a sense rather cartoony. In some ways he exaggerates just enough that the picture expresses a sort of humour and sweetness but enough realism to touch the viewer close to home. He also was greatly inspired by the Golden Age Illustrator J.C Leyendecker whose work was popular in the early twentieth century.

Jim Davis, the creator of the comic strip, Garfield, has created mash-ups of classic Garfield art with Norman Rockwell covers from The Saturday Evening Post.

Jim Davis stated that he was always a big fan of Rockwell art. He was given the opportunity a few years back to partner with Curtis publishing and put Garfield literally "inside" some of Rockwell's famous paintings. His personal favorite was a take on Rockwell's famous "Triple Self-Portrait" Garfield is so used to being the center of attention it was only natural he would hog the spotlight.
