This 1992 political cartoon by Ed Stein of Rocky Mountain News says: "Visit the island kingdom of Great Britain, where the monarchy, which miraculously escaped extinction, lives lavishly at the expense of the common folk."
Interesting, Ed recently (Friday) spoke at our commencement for Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, and you had just visited us last September. The art world is a small place.
James I just wanted to take the time to congratulate you on such a great job you're doing here. Your posts and artwork are inspirational to many generations of artists. Cheers!
By the way, James, didja hear about the new poisonous turkey dinosaur they just found? As you're the definitive apex of dinosaurs and art, I'd love to see your artistic impression of this new creature...or even emcee a drawing jamboree amongst your manyfold adoring fans!
Oh, and while I'm whining about all the great info I always want to dig outta you, I'd love your take on some of the classic Coca Cola-age Christmas illustrations, since it's that time of year.
Has there ever been a cartoon done for the California Wine Country, where I live, Winotopia?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I've heard of a place called "Edutopia." Guess everyone there is named Ed.

Hi, Oscar, the venomous dinosaur idea sounds intriguing, but I think there needs to be a bit more evidence.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sundblom Coca Cola Santas. They're beautifully painted!
Thanks Verdaverde I'll keep 'em coming. Blake--It's a small world indeed!
