#20Artists20days. Your favorites, those that move you etc. Any reason. Post with art example if you like.
OK, yet another brief disclaimer: I am not endorsing everything this man has ever said, but I admit to having a deep affection for his warped yet keen mind. If you've ever seen the documentary by Zwigoff, you'll probably know what I mean.
So if this choice offends any here, that is not my intent. This is, after all, art that moves ME. 🙂
Day 8: Robert Crumb
For a short period of time, I lived in a Print shop on Valencia St. in San Francisco.
This was the original home of Zap Comix's. It was two small storefronts next to each other. One was the Printing plant where all the covers were printed, the other was a warehouse, full to the brim with all the old comix's. R Crumb had gone to France.
I found but did not keep all the Negatives and original art for all the covers.
It was a weird time !

Stories..
Ya I got stories.
I got to live there, because I was a printer, and knew how to run, and maintain the press's. There was a guy, I think his name was Don Donahue, R Crumb's ex business partner that was supposed to sell the rights to all the comics and send the money to Crumb. But he was a horrible drunk. And so fucked everything up. I was asked to be both a watchmen, and a press mechanic. Because I hung out with these folks.
