I Could Never Forget How Much I Like Kent Williams

I just bought and read "The Fountain" and I am so happy with it. Glad to add it to my shelf. See? Comics are real art! Sometimes they are more artsy than fine art.

I post a lot of pictures, rather than talking a lot about my favorite artists, because the pictures are what I find most interesting. With a few rare exceptions, I don't care how they got started, what journeys they went through, what they were thinking when they did this piece or that. The work speaks for itself.

Jerome Witkin

"I think the artist is never really sure, because art is long and life is short."

Jerome is having a retrospective show at SU. Maybe I should stop by.

How Could I Have Forgotten How Much I Love Barron Storey?

He reminds me a lot of Dave McKean in that first image, and a lot of Bernie Fuchs in the second image. But I must never forget this awesome pioneer! Always an original.

Other Than My Personal Gain, It's Very Sad

Only good thing about Borders going out of business:

Graphic novel clearance sale! Woo! Reading time!

Uniquely Northern New York

I just found a cute listing of Northern NY crafters and artisans. There is not much dedicated to the arts in NNY, I always get excited when I find another place. And this site is very well organized, too. Check out my new profile, below:

Hamlet Sketch Alternate Version

I have this all (much nicer) drawn out, but before I can go any further with it, I need some ideas on the basic value plan. Which do you think better portrays the madness of Hamlet? And which would look better on the cover of a book?

Another Try

I remembered I had some awesome hats in a box somewhere

Anyone else never satisfied with self portraits?
