LIVEJOURNAL, DIRECTION OF RESEARCH

- I've decided that my Livejournal will primarily showcase Arts-Fartsy people and related websites that I dig.

- My Blogger now will be striclty for research, making connections in various things that I am checking out. I remember Everett Hoagland saying in a UMD course that Poetry is about making connections....although I haven't written Poetry in quite awhile, I believe what I'm interested in is related.

ROB SATO'S BURYING SANDWICHES

Every other Friday, my wife and I go to the Brand bookstore in Glendale after dinner.

One night I ask indyrock night manager if they happen to have any new comics in.
(...not indy like franz ferdinand...indy like "we recorded our record at Fort Apache.")

Turns out the new comic that was in was his own book, Burying Sandwiches, which he won the Xeric for.

I bought it, and was thoroughly impressed with his illustration style and twisted sense of humor.

Sato is still working on his website, but you can order his book through Last Gasp:

Matt Smith is a kick-ass illustrator that I met in college.
Although they probably didn't mean to be...he and his crew were an influence to me and my cronies in school.
Check out his stuff.
