I Heart NY

Crewe to London Euston. 24th July. About 5pm.

Goodbye, Cleveland

Sad to hear that Harvey Pekar has died. I first remember coming across him in the 'Harvey Sez' column in some reprints of Weirdo, when I was about fifteen or sixteen. Since then, I've read tons of his stuff (and taken in the excellent film of 'American Splendor' of course).

There's a real sea of autobiographical comics around, and the majority of them are introspective twaddle. Yet another illustration student talking about yet another unrequited crush? Boring.

Pekar could certainly be self-obsessed, but he was obsessed with the other characters in his life, too. It made you care, and it's what made his writing so interesting.

RIP, indeed.

I can't believe I haven't posted this already. Some CD promos for Keith John Adams from last year? It must have been.

Anyway. Have a listen to Keith here...

this place is like a tomb

Apologies, apologies, apologies. I have been drawing, I just haven't been updating. Lots of things in the pipeline, though.... watch this space.
