I joked yesterday with Mitch O’Connell that he should get the painting he did for me for the book “The Art of Barbie” tattooed on himself. Mitch just sent me a pic of somebody that did just that!

Mitch’s interview was highlighted by Dirk Deppey on Journalista and by Mark Frauenfelder on Boing Boing for which I’m much appreciative! I welcome readers from those blogs. Take a look around and please subscribe.

Now that I’m finally finishing up my next two books, Arf Forum and Clean Cartoonists’ Dirty Drawings I’ll have time to post a lot of the Arf Lovers “Hi Five” interviews I’ve been working on. Look soon for questions posed to Art Blogger King (and himself a very talented ilustrator) John Martz of Drawn.ca. Then long suffering, patient Randolph Hoppe of the cool Jack Kirby Museum. And finally Arf’s book publisher, Gary Groth, on Harlan Ellison’s miserable first amendment bashing lawsuit against Fantagraphics.
