Friend and former denverite John Cuneo has a book out called nEuROTIC; It’s published by Fantagraphics, and is comprised of a collection of sketches from his notebooks. Of course, John’s notebooks are legendary; the content is unabashadly filthy, but what makes them compelling is the insight into John’s psyche.
There is a ’short interview’ with John [...]

20 Feb 2007What more could you want? This site has all the wisdom in the world, and provides a great way to waste an hour too.

5 Feb 2007Maddie and I read the lead article in the New York Times Sunday magazine with interest, as you can well imagine. After all, Maddie considers herself to be the equal of any labradoodle or puggle and, frankly, superior to a bichon-poo or a doodleman pinscher.

A year or so ago I read “Alice off the page” in the New Yorker, and thought it was the most moving work I’d read in a long time. I passed it on to my brother-in-law, John, who then sent it on to just about everyone else we know. Now it’s been turned into [...]
“At this point words become inadequate and I return to the great discovery I began preparing you for, the knowledge of the one surface with which the world offered itself to this art. Offered, but not yet gave. Accepting it would (and still does) require endless work.

19 Dec 2006There’s an article in the New York Times today on my favorite place to visit in Portland (which is one of my favorite places to visit).
