About 17 or 18 years ago, when I still lived in NYC, I was sitting in front of my building doing drawings on blank matchbook covers and selling them to passersby on the street for a few dollars each. Oddly enough, I got to meet a surprising number of celebrities this way and I can honestly say my artwork is in some of the finest collections. One of the truly great people who stopped to look at what I was doing and to talk to me about comic art was Jim Warren. Apparently, Jim liked my style, because about a week later I received a book in the mail that contained illustrations of various types of farts, I believe it was. I thought it was slightly ironic, that I had come to NYC with lofty ambitions in fine art, only to I wind up impressing others as the type of artist who might be good at illustrating fart jokes. Maybe Jim was right after all, for the more I think about it the less difference there seems to be between the two genres. About a year later I became the artist of Beavis and Butt-Head Comic Book. Thank you, Jim Warren! Jim Warren is a generous man.
