I'm still working on it . . .
I'll share more later . . . promise!
The whole thing is drawn and scanned, but now I'm cleaning up the scans, which takes a long time.

I was interviewed . . .
here it is!
Greg is a great guy and a wonderful comics artist. In fact, I wish he would draw more comics! But he's also very good at writing about art with clarity and insight. I love that he looks for art everywhere, and seems to consider that anything and everything might be interesting and valuable, whether it's a gallery show, an installation, a zine, or the food art and carnival rides at the Topsfield Fair. His site is well worth perusing.

Peace, MJ
When Michael Jackson died, it brought me back to before he was so obviously disturbed, long ago, when I really loved his music. It was the Thriller album, which was the first tape I owned, back in elementary school. I remembered how all the kids loved him, how he made us want to dance. And I remembered one particular time of listening to him in the school cafegymnatorium, us trying to moonwalk, jump up on our toes, etc. We were dead serious, but I'm sure it would've been hilarious to witness!
The second tape I ever got was Weird Al making fun of Michael Jackson - I loved them both!

Lunchtime doodles from yesterday and today
My Sculpture Park Plan:
Today, I started drawing a bunch of overlapping circles, not knowing what they were going to be. After a while, I thought they were bubbles. That made me remember the time a few friends and I went to Vermont and Mark H. was blowing bubbles out of his mouth! (The kind of bubbles you're supposed to blow out of that little plastic thing that you dip in the bottle - not by actually pouring the stuff in your mouth!) He ended up feeling sick and sleeping out in the car, which was probably more comfortable than where I slept, under the dining room table. Ah, the good old days!

It's available from Red Panda Comics.
Dan Zettwoch has up a color preview of his excellent contribution to the book, plus a few more Ed Emberley images.
(You know Ed Emberley, right? The Big Green Drawing Book?)
Dave K is also in there!

Photos from Sherman Cafe
There's Abby and my sister Julie with a book I put together of all my Nick Mag comics. They both helped out a lot, and Julie's chocolate-covered blueberries were the hit of the show.
That's me with my very kind wife Cathy!
And that's my Mom - Hi Mom! No good picture of Dad, unfortunately, but they both helped out a lot, too.
Here's Jack, teaching me how to relax while standing up.
And here's my best piece in the show: a Godzilla and friends (and enemies) plate that I made in 1982, brought by Mom.
