We Continue To Interupt This Dream For An Obama Coin
Seeing all the news reports about the so-called “Obama Coin” got me thinking. I had an Obama Coin image! I made it in 2008 as a Photoshop learning exercise. If any art directors out there would like to license it to illustrate an article, get in touch.
Love it! Nice job.
Dreamt last night that you were the manager of a supermarket. I was introduced to you as you were overseeing the work of one of the check out chicks. I told you that I had a copy of almost everything that you’d done. You sneered, ” Do you have five thousand dollars? ” Inferring that that’s how much I would need to buy every publication your work had appeared in. I looked down at my feet, mumbling, ” I don’t have everything .” Also, you had a sign up explaining that really you were a comic book artist – and promoting your work to customers. I thought there were probably other creative people working there…but I didn’t see any signs up promoting their creative endeavours. You were a pretty obnoxious character.
This morning, clearing up piles of comics, I picked up Dead Of Night #10 (1975), the first story of which is the Kirby illustrated, ‘I Dream Of Doom’ – a re-print from the Atlas days. After reading all the Rare Bits I was struck by how reading this story felt like an extension of your series – with what an influence on your style he is and how in some of your dreams you consciously and overtly mimick his style. The cover says : ‘I Dream Of Doom! And My Dreams Come True!’ …Bummer.
