I just had a great Birthday party at one of my favorite clubs that my babe Bats threw for me. A lot of my friends were actually around town that week to attend and even a few surprise ( how did she hook that up?) old friends showed up.
The best was the three tiered cup cake tower that held four dozen little cakes.
After two chocolate cakes (the vodka kind), three keylime pies, cosmos, metros, someone always handing me a beer to keep my two other beers company, and way too many tequilas, I had the worst hangover the next day in many years to remember.
Thanks also to four of my best friends who all went in and got me a retro old school Powell skateboard! WOW!
That was really generous. Its arriving next week, and photos of me performing "Ollies" at the nearby bowl will be posted very soon.
Thanks to everyone who attended.
And thank you Bats. That was very special.

Phantom Lady #17
Phantom Lady #17 with the classic Matt Baker cover art. A few years ago actor Nicolas Cage sold his collection of 400 rare comic books for $1.6 million dollars. This is one his books. Cage took his name after the 1972 Marvel hero Luke Cage, aka Power Man. This was also in the 1954 book Seduction of the Innocent. Because of that, #17 is highly collected for its "Headlights" cover.

SugarBooger Kevin Scalzo & Blood Mark Ryden
Speaking of influences. The super hot (yeah, he's hot!) Mark Ryden is a big fan of artist Kevin Scalzo and his character Sugar Booger. A huge hit in Japan I heard. Scalzo's work is a fantastic mix of 70's House of Marvel, Micronauts,Lonnie Toft,Chaïm Soutine and extra chunky peanut butter. Rydens latest portfolio and prints were called Blood Sweat & Tears and featured one print called Blood that was influenced by Sugar Booger. Check out Kevin's work. Some of you might remember him from the Burning Brush auctions put together by Tim Biskup. Man, a lot of those artists are really big now.
