If you are a regular fan of Boing Boing like I am you might have seen the interesting article on how artist Mark Pillo has a piece of art that is VERY similiar to Tim Biskup. I have been saying this for a long time that while Juxtapoz is an awesome mag that has shown a lot of people the new lo-fi (thaz my term suckah!) art, new artists have to look beyond those ten stars that are shown in every issue.
You love Robert Williams, Tim Biskup, Coop, Shag, Glenn Barr? Well, look at Wally Wood or Harvey Kurtzman (those Little Annie Fannys, WOW!). Bill Wray, Jim Flora, Bill Ward or even Bruce Timm.
Or even go back a little further and learn about the Italian Futurists or the German Expressionists Max
Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Looking at last months issue does not work any more folks. That also goes for all of the new galleries that just copy the mag for next years line up.

Yeah!!! TipsyDesign. On this page Im just going to rant and rave about things I love (and hate) and hope you will enjoy the ride.
First of all I am a big comic book geek and have been since the 70's. Thats cool now (finally!!) because so much of pop culture is coming from comics. I think everyone should learn about the history of this great american art form.
My big POP faves right now are: Wally Wood Russ Meyer Bossanova Bruce Timm Oahu Chet Baker King Kong The Cramps Bukowski Bill Ward Richard Corben MF Doom Jack Kirby Steve Ditko Bettie Page The Jam 60's Marvel Comics Neal Adams Jackie Mittoo And The Soul Brothers Mike Mignola Rockabilly 62 Thunderbird Betty Blue Groovie Ghoulies Coop Dexter Gordon GentGemBuffDCup Film Noir
Mickey Rourke Serge Gainsbourg Satan's Pilgrims Tony Alva Nouvelle Vague Tim Biskup Alberto Giacometti Lonnie Toft Rockin' Jelly Bean Gil Kane
Jayne Mansfield Miles Davis Bob Ross RayGuns and Jenn. Ha! that was from the top of my head at the moment.
