missprint

it is so difficult to acquire original Japanese art. been trying for a while, but "outlook hazy".
anyway, in attempting to track down a dealer for Suehiro, i found this bio. maybe it mention all this in Juxtapoz, but i'm not at work right now, so i can't look it up. it makes me want to find out more...

Suehiro Maruo is a self-taught high school dropout and former shoplifter who began drawing comics at the age of eighteen. His first work, submitted to the weekly manga Shonen Jump, was promptly rejected. His dark style fantasy dreams didn't fit in the commercialized, mass-market magazines. It took five more years before he started drawing comics again, this time for Ero-manga. Besides trying to make a living out of his talents, it was also part of a quest for artistic freedom. Maruo draws nightmares. In the tradition of muzan-e (atrocity print) woodblock masters of the 19th century, he drew short stories of axe murders, abortion, rape and incest in as much graphic detail as the obscenity codes allowed.

My 6'5" Irish father swears that he will kill, or have me killed if I take my wife (his beloved daughter-in-law) and our kids across the country. That would put both of his children in Mass, as my brother has lived there since 1985. I get out there every two years, for two to three weeks. I was there in Sept/Oct this year, and I made the Boston tattoo convention.

Long and the short....I haven't found a good excuse to get my family there HOWEVER, I am to start Law school in January of '07, and you have to know that four Mass Universities are in the running

Hope that I didn't offend your mom

I got the stolen bass back. The finish is kind of screwed up (wasn't a great finish to begin with) , so I'm looking at other alteratives for that as well.

I'm primarily thinking about ways to finish a new bass I want to build.

Dwarves = YES!

Plus, Brandon is all over that show, he wouldn't miss it!

Thanks!

Sad to hear that your little muskrat died. Honestly, for me the thought of rodents as pets seemed as appealing as carving a girlfriend out of teak wood, if you know what I'm getting at. But hey, a pet is a pet, and the death of one is like biting a beer bottle till it breaks.

Oh, and I wouldn't be too amazed at my objectivity. In true post-modern fashion, I often wonder sometimes if me thinking about myself is just one gigantic heisenburg syndrome of obsevation. So with that in mind, there's the very distinct possiblity that I'm completely full of shit.

RIC does have a gym, as outdated as it might be, it's still a possiblity. My thing with gyms are how they turn into never ending staring contests. The pinnacle of the last gym membership I had was when I couldn't tell if I was being complemented by how much weight I put up or was being hit on. Nevertheless, It's still a possiblity that I'm going to end up over there.

Oh, and whether you like it or not, I'm invested and terribly curious about how you've been. Still doing the Non-profits or have you become art's next prophet? Send me a letter damnit. Or not. Either way, I'm still curious.

My Nonna has only been encouraging and sometimes funding the adventure. I would be wearing Polo sweatshirts with an elastic band around the bottom if she had her way in regards to style. But I would be wearing nice shoes.

Im sure your name used to be just 'Kay' rather than 'Kay_'. Or am i imagining it?

So whats happening man? you been partying hard? What do you prefer: seeing a band (local/unsigned) or going to a club and dancing?

i want to eat puppies too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

puppies are tasty.

I wish I could come down for the show. Do me a favor though and tell me tomorrow that she show sucked so I don't feel too much like a douche for missing it. Thanks.
