I'd peeked at the often snarky Comics Journal board yesterday, and read through Austin's thread about "20 Questions". He makes a good point that many sort of didn't answer the question: <BR/>10. what artwork (or artists) do you feel kinship with?<BR/><BR/>Indeed I didn't handle it too well, so here goes. <BR/>I feel an affinity with a novelist working in the 40s and 50s named Dawn Powell (The Wicked Pavillion, Angels on Toast, and more books). She wrote about Boho New Yorkers in the Village; their struggles, intrigues and loves. The books has sharply drawn characters, they were funny as hell and deeply cynical. I read 5 of her books while working on Bughouse and took cues from her in writing for an ensemble of characters.<BR/><BR/>Ken Kesey is another fine example in my book. OK, so Ken was a bit mesianic, no body's perfect. But look, he had the goods. He wrote great novels and extolled the virtues of LSD. He opened shit up but good. He was also a good guy, a zen trickster with a great spirit.<BR/><BR/>I take some cues from Kesey as I am one to extol the amazing fact that magic mushrooms are available to us human beings. Frankly, I believe the 'shrooms to be true aliens. Their spoors found the earth. The shrooms share their intelligence with us; they are funny, altruistic, and offer a peek behind the curtain of what time and physical reality really is.<BR/>Shit, I hear the garbage truck, gotta fly!Steve Laflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01971490252595896340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794037043915637002.post-78728786677776570202008-10-29T08:31:00.000-07:002008-10-29T08:31:00.000-07:00Great stuff Austin.
