May 29, 2011Newsstands in the 70’s as art school
October 8, 2010For me, the 60’s was an introduction to illustration and solidifying a foundation for drawing. I was at the perfect age to get swept up in the pop culture of the time. Bat-mania, Bond-mania, hot rods, surfers, creature features, the british invasion and California’s musical response to it. I was part of that baby-boomer bunch that assimilated all media (that was available at the time) and processed it by thinking that everyone should be able to contribute to it.

When Directors Believe Their Own Hype…(Tarantino & Cameron, Listen Up)
August 26, 2009I found the film entertaining but not the ‘masterpiece’ that some critics were going on about. (Those that reviwed it positively as it were.) That would be because Tarantino would just not shut up about how great this was going to be for years and years.
