Nine Years!?!


Somehow I let myself get sidetracked, and here I am posting this almost a month late.

It's hard to believe it's been almost a decade since Harry Kremer died. I have long held that I would do a small "What Can't Be Erased" piece about Harry - and I will yet... but it's hard to write something about one of the people most instrumental in your becoming a cartoonist. When I was 10 years old, Harry showed me that "grown ups" could read comic books... could make their living from comics (making or selling) and was my first introduction to independent comics.

He was a great guy. There's a reason the Shuster award for retailer of the year is named for the man...

So, a slightly belated pause for one of the most influential people on my life as an artist.

Most Of My Heroes Don't Appear On No Stamps


One of the problems with having a couple variations on the style I draw in is this: I sit down wanting to do a cool, detailed shot of Jean Michel Basquiat - and all that comes out is some weirdly animated version... that I still kinda like.

Frustrating... but intriguing. I don't know what it says about me, but I do know Basquiat is amazing.Look him up...
