The cover illustrations aren't bad but I'm not too impressed with the panels. Not surprisingly these remind me of Heavy Metal. It would be interesting to see Moebius, Corben or even William Stout's take on the source material.

Yes, I was trying to hide out by having myself declared dead, but you're too smart for that. And, yeah, I can pretty much put anything on a t shirt you want. I'm about to start working with Rick Veitch. He illustrated Alan Moore's "Swamp Thing" for D.C. way back in the day and is...

If anyone is interested this is what we finally put on the shirt. I always loved the album cover that this is based on. http://cgi.ebay.com/Charles-Bukowski-Bud-t-shirt_W0QQitemZ170363915223QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_MC_Shirts?hash=item27aa7b0bd7&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

I saw Kesey on Letterman years ago. Dave asked if he had seen the movie and he said it would be like someone saying "Hey, the Hell's Angels are raping your daughter in the parking lot, you wanna watch?" You really can't blame him. With passages like this omitted from the narration the movie is a...

I say one of them already has. Check out the film "My Kid Could Paint That" and then tell me that that kid had any structured learning in the field of art. That is, if you believe that the kid painted the canvases, I'm not so sure I do. But at face value this film is telling us that what I...

Let's say...Somebody takes the entire dictionary and slices every word and all of thier variations out. Then let's say they divide them into piles labeled Noun, Verb, Adjective, etc. Then they mix each pile up so there is a randomness to the words and draw them out to form random sentences. So...

In "The L.A. Scene" from "Portions from a Wine Stained Notebook"? Anyone have any idea? I suppose this is the best place to post this.

Been out of the loop In the "Dirty South" for a tradshow. SGIA and all that. So this may seem off topic now but whatever. I don't place labels on what I think of as art. I suppose my opinion is a very solipsistic one, I suppose all individual definitions of art are solipsistic come to think...

Most recently, within the last 3 months, I commissioned a piece of artwork for 2000.00 from Canadian artist Dave Sim. Does that count? Don't get me wrong. I believe fully in supporting the arts. I'm uncomfortable with governments doing it, especially when, as you say, the majority of...

When did he apply? I am a bit surprised by that, knowing his history with the government and his point of view with the environs of acadamia, not to mention general authority. Most likely it was out there and He'd be a fool not to try for the free money, but that doesn't diminish the fact that...

So here's what I'm doing The manual typer is at the bottom of the shirt with a leaf of paper extending from it up and out to the top of the shirt, widening as it goes up. Upon the paper is typed "I hurled myself toward my personal god: SIMPLICITY. The tighter and smaller you got it the less...

And another thing.... Vodka, you've hit upon something that I have an issue with. Art made of semen and blood. Wow. Let's all get one. Here's my take on the whole art issue: I believe the national endowment for the arts giving grants to "ARTISTS" is a practice that should be done away with...

that's cool and all.... But I'm not about to print : A) R. Crumb's artwork B) A graphic I didn't design C) Black Sparrow's name Those are very nice garments and I'm sure highly sought after but they aren't exactly...

Designing Bukowski T shirt So I am planning on designing a new Buk T shirt. I don't like using likenesses on t shirts, I never snapped a photo of Buk personally so I don't own any rights to one. Anyway, when I design shirts based on great writers I don't like including pictures of the author...

Here's a cool little anectdote for you. A few years ago I was driving a truck for an air frieght company in Nashville. One day I have to take over this young kids route. I noticed that I had a pick up of musical equiptment in Mount Juliet. The kid explained to me that it's kind of a tough...

There's a bluebird in my heart........

point taken You're right about lumping them all together. As I said, there are passages from various performances that I like. The main problem I see with it is what it has devolved into. At it's inception there was some really interesting, entertaining stuff out there. I actually...

thank you for basically eximplifying my problem with slam poetry. I will say that there are some good lines in his poem and even a few glimpses of thought that I can connect with on one level or another, but he is doing nothing more than presenting an agenda. And he is so OBVIOUS about it...

Rhyming I couldn't agree more with the whole stilted and hackneyed view of rhyming poetry. That whole sing-songy thing is childish to me. I also despise the whole broken sentence structure that so many rhymers have to employ so as to get the ends of the lines to rhyme. "My watch I...

I was off the mark on that one. I thought for sure it was RS magazine but obviously I'm misremembering. That last passage is one of my favorites though. You Rock! Thanks, ponder. I was pretty sure it was no one who I had heard of, this makes it certain. Elusive Butterfly huh? Top...

I remember reading a poem in which Bukowski mentions a writer from "Rolling Stone" magazine. The guy kept pestering Buk to do an interview with him. They would both be paid a tidy sum. Ultimately Buk tells the guy to piss off. The last of the poem has a great line. It's something about reading...

I have Fun Everywhere I Go You sound like the author of "I Have Fun Everywhere I Go". I recently picked it up mainly because it looked so damned interesting. I haven't really dug into it yet as I am on the last few pages of "Women" but I plan on reading it next. The author's name...

Tom Waits, always Tom Waits. Just caught his shows in Alabama and Atlanta. What an incredible talent. I picked up a couple of Calexico's disks down at Grimey's, the greatest record store in the world, and found them to be brilliant at times but then they tended to stray into boring...

Barfly DVD Not true. I purchased the dvd on amazon has to be about 4 of 5 years ago. It was as if a window of opportunity opened up and I was lucky enough to be searching for the disk when they were accepting pre-orders. I don't understand why it is out of print. There is obviously a market out...
