Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Bike Messenger
In 1973, I spent almost a year working as a bike messenger in San Francisco. It was during this time I had the apocalyptic dream series that I drew as comics in 1996. The material first appeared in RARE BIT FIENDS (this piece was the cover to #18) and then was collected in CRYPTO ZOO.
Pen, ink, dye, airbrush and colored pencil.

Seeing this again gives me great feelings of surrealism mixed up with nostalgia for a time and place I never occupied.
(Hope that wasn’t pretentious.)
