i love those angelic figures. my artwork has been arguing for a place somewhere between the ultra-realistic, and trippy, silliness, but i've been looking for a character, because i need at least one recurring character to make a good comic, but whatever, im just babbling. oh, i was just trying to say that Frank is a perfect balance, and he fits in any reality (especially yours).
I had the weirdest dream the other night that I visited a gallery you owned. You were showing new works that had been drawn on big, thick, legal-sized white erasers. You were using very thin ink pens for these drawings, and they were very intricately detailed...a bit like Marc Bell. Your beard was thinner too (thinner than the few pictures I've seen of you, at least.). Thought you might like to know that!
I was born in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California and enjoyed an exciting childhood full of poetry and paroniria among the snakes, rats and tarantulas of that enchanted realm. I eventually grew into an inquisitive bearlike man who has had three exciting careers; garbage collector, merry-go-round-operator and cartoonist. Some of my work is collected in THE BOOK OF JIM, THE FRANK BOOK and SEEING THINGS (all published by Fantagraphics) and in various toys, fabrics, prints and urban legends. Thank you for your interest.
