David Sandlin and Gary Panter

Gary Panter came to the University of Iowa to talk about his art while I was in grad school there. When I told him I was having a hard time dealing with coming back to civillian life after my year in Afghanistan he gave me a hug. He is the artist who dreamed up the set for Pee Wees playhouse, you remember Chairy and the Genie head inside the box, right? He makes really great drawings, and I occassionally see his work in the cooler bookstores (I saw some in Chop Suey in Richmond VA, and the comic bookstore in the ped mall in Iowa City IA). He teaches in NYC at the SVA.

David Sandlin, I have never met David Sandlin, but I like his work. He teaches at the SVA too. His website is good, it has a lot of his work, and an interesting biography.

P.S. I have been making one page zines and I will post some later.
