Doom Patrol is messing with my mind!?
Thanks to a suggestion from my Fat Jack’s buddy, Brendan, I have started reading Grant Morrison’s run on the DC series Doom Patrol from the early ’90s. What would happen if a piece from the Tree of Knowledge from the Garden of Eden was taken by an angel and planted on a far off planet? […]
Sexual Healing with Peaches
Anyone who really knows me is aware of my obsessive devotion to the artist known as Peaches. Since 2001, I have been following her musical career and I have attended three live shows and plan on seeing a fourth in two weeks. Musician, activist, teacher, performance artist, she’s the real deal. She’s my Dalî and […]
New Warriors…heroes for the 90s?!
So I have just reread the first 36 issues of Marvel’s New Warriors comic book series. Released during my freshman year of highschool in 1990, I quickly dropped the book once I got to college and the art and strorylines got even more ridiculous and lackluster. This was the first time I reread the adventures […]
Wacky Sun Worshipping and other odd Jewish Traditions
So in a scant few hours the sun will be at the exact point it was when God created it on the Fourth Day of Creation. Every 28 years at dawn the sun returns to its point of origin and installation. It is a moment of awe where we give thanks for the life and […]
Waxing philosophical at the local comix shop
The bond between a man and his local comic book store is mysterious and awkward. The ritual of return for the sequential art fix is ripe with potential. You never know who might join the conversation that flows from pychotropic drug references to favorite scenes from the Incredibles. Where else can you hear a sassy […]
Growing up Comix Rocked!!
I can’t sleep because my head is still spinning from the awesomeness that was last night’s opening of Growing up Comix. The rain could in no way dampen the mood as friends, family, and tons of peeps filled the Arts Center/South Florida gallery in SoBe Miami. It was such a trip seeing more than 20 […]
Madoff is our Shabbatai Zvi
So I really think that this whole scandal is our generation’s equivalent of the false messanism that was Shabbatai Zvi. Go google that name and check out how that guy’s story overlaps with Bernie Madoff. New York Magazine’s Madoff/Joker cover is just the beginning. Bernie has just entered an infamous rogues gallery. He has single […]
iphone WordPress doesn’t like me
Apologies for the delayed reactions and slow going on the blog posts. I have been a busy bee and have had limited access to the laptop. No problem, the handy little iphone has a WordPress application. Sweet! But alas, I can’t seem to make the thing work because the 2 posts I wrote on the […]
LimmudPhilly Rocked!
The first Limmud in Philly was yesterday and it was great! With more than 600 peeps in attendance, there was a really nice vibe in the air. I lead two workshops that were well attended and everyone seemed to have fun. I’m glad that even my Aunt Ruthy was able to attend, and she now […]
Growing Up Comix
So I am busting my hump getting ready for my first solo art show. Who knew that mounting a show was so time consuming? Frames, mattes, shipping?! Oy Vey!! I am exhibiting almost 50 pieces that I have made since 1985. Although, truth be told, the fact that I now wear bifocals and can say […]
