I was in my studio today moving stacks of books around searching for a specific reference book, when I stumbled across an old box of comics that I hadn't looked at since the 80's....and naturally got distracted.
Well, needless to say I gave up searching for that reference book and got lost skimming through comics for a little bit, rediscovering one of my favorite comics from college, a 12 issue series called: MoonShadow written by J.M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Jon J. Muth. I remember being introduced to this comic by my friend John, and being blown away by the watercolor illustrations...cuz, ya know...I was studying to become an illustrator/artist and this was 'valuable' reference material. I used to spend too much money at Fat Jack's Comicrypt in Philadelphia when I should have been buying food, but that's what you do when you're a stupid college student.
So, I thought I'd share the first issue with you while I try and figure out what the hell I'm gonna do with this Blog.
The infamous, Fat Jack's Comicrypt in Philadelphia, PA, where I spent all my food & art supply money.
I just had to include this, because it reminds me of my Dad...and the times I would spend with him driving around town running errands during the winter, with the heat on, windows rolled up, my Dad smoking and Cat Stevens Greatest Hits playing on the 8-track!
To this day, I still get car sick whenever I hear Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam...
