First issue out now! My series At The Shore in Digital format at Alternative Comics!
Back before World War 2, Uncle Dean (really my great-uncle) got interested in drawing cartoons. He always encouraged me to draw when I was little, but I didn’t really know about his own stuff until after he passed and Aunt Helen gave me several books he used as instruction including a copy of Zim’s How to Draw Funny Pictures .
Around 1940 he began doing these portraits of Le Grand Iowa citizens for the local paper. A few family members have expressed curiosity about seeing his cartoons so I’m putting them up on my site here. You can also download this book as a pdf here
So here it is: Dean Gaunt’s Who’s Who in LeGrand – A Community Cartooned:
One little note: the cartoon portrait of Dean himself seems to be drawn by someone named Frank King Jr. I looked it up once, and I believe this guy was a regional political cartoonist, and no relation to Frank King who drew Gasoline Alley.
Here are some pictures I shot in Rome with a 60 year old camera my friends gave me. Maybe these are light leaks, but that city has seen so many people come and go, I bet it’s something paranormal. oooooooooooooo.
Here’s side A of the new Paper Fleet Record “Baby, We Love each other. Josh drew the man on the record label. The sound on this is coming through my speakers and into the camera mic. You can buy it at the ottoshop
“What’s that” you say? No, you aren’t imagining things. Paper Fleet are releasing a new 7 inch 4 song EP! Come out to the show and get yours before everyone else! Wait.. you dont have a record player? Fear not. The record comes with mp3 downloads and you can use the record as a frisbee™. Not only that but it comes with a hand silkscreened cover designed by Josh, and a 4 page Comic By Jim!
My pal Nicholas Gazin wanted to interview me for vice. I didn’t really want to be interviewed but I made a compromise and did the interview in comic format.
Check em out on my 3D site.
I just posted a bunch of 3d Photos of the Iowa State Fair on my 3D blog
