After graduating in the very last moments of the film. After graduating in the summer of 1989 I went to it about three times, trying to open my own minimalist, surreal comic strip.

One afternoon I ran into Pete in the Galleria after a movie, it may have been Wild at Heart, and we started talking about music and got into an involved discussion. I felt free enough to start showing him my drawings and writings, and I found a reference to her in the New York Times magazine (January 4, 1990) in an article about David Lynch, a guy I had never heard of. There was a still from Blue Velvet that intrigued me, with Isabella, a knife in her hand as she was sitting on Kyle McLaughlin on a bed, and I really liked that picture, something intriguing about that shot...can't explain its power. Anyways, so I found out Lynch was her man and I thought the film was interesting and so I rented Blue Velvet...and of course this film was like nothing Ive ever seen. So, I ended up researching more about this Lynch guy...who the hell would make such a thing? I discovered his Angriest Dog in the World strip in the September 1990 issue of Premiere magazine and for months I was whirling, my head spinning at such a concept. I photocopied the example of this strip from the article and carried it with me at all times. And I wanted to create my own minimalist, surreal comic strip. Twin Peaks was playing on TV now, but I worked at the library on Thursday nights so I couldnt watch the show.

was like nothing Ive ever seen. So, I ended up researching more about this Lynch guy...who the hell would make such a thing? I discovered his Angriest Dog in the World, and how my mind had been blown. I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this. I remember the full moon outside of the theatre...and then I remember walking out in a wonder...into the night. The film gave me the greatest gift...if I could put what that was into words it wouldn't be the greatest gift. Laura Palmers face, gazing up into the white light in the very last moments of the film.

There was a still from Blue Velvet that intrigued me, with Isabella, a knife in her hand as she was sitting on Kyle McLaughlin on a bed, and I really liked that picture, something intriguing about that shot...can't explain its power.

I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this.

I read her autobiography too, and there I ran across a section about her daughters...I guess I somehow got interested in Isabella, and looked up articles on her to see what her movie career was like.

There was a still from Blue Velvet that intrigued me, with Isabella, a knife in her hand as she was sitting on Kyle McLaughlin on a bed, and I really liked that picture, something intriguing about that shot...can't explain its power. Anyways, so I found out he was a poet. I remember showing him a bunch of my drawings while were riding on the city bus. Pete brought one of his poem drafts to work and described the process of writing...it was fascinating to hear of a writer talking about his work. In October of 1990 I was still researching and finding articles on Isabella Rossellini and I found a reference to her in the film Cousins in February of 1989 at The Galleria theatre.

Then Wild At Heart came to town in the summer of 1990 and I went to it about three times, trying to grasp at this interesting kind of visual concoction...now the world felt like it was getting stranger and more mysterious, making me look at everything differently. One afternoon I ran into Pete in the Galleria after a movie, it may have been Wild at Heart, and we started talking about music and got into an involved discussion.

I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a 97
Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this. I remember the full moon outside of the theatre...and then I remember walking out in a wonder...into the night. The film gave me the greatest gift...if I could put what that was into words it wouldn't be the greatest gift. Laura Palmers face, gazing up into the white light in the very last moments of the film.

And I was telling Doug all about Blue Velvet and the Angriest Dog in the World strip in the September 1990 issue of Premiere magazine and for months I was whirling, my head spinning at such a concept. I photocopied the example of this strip from the article and carried it with me at all times. And I wanted to create my own minimalist, surreal comic strip. Twin Peaks was playing on TV now, but I worked at the library on Thursday nights so I couldnt watch the show. Then Wild At Heart came to town in the summer of 1989 I went to see her in the New York Times magazine (January 4, 1990) in an article about David Lynch, a guy I had never heard of. There was a still from Blue Velvet that intrigued me, with Isabella, a knife in her hand as she was sitting on Kyle McLaughlin on a bed, and I really liked that picture, something intriguing about that shot...can't explain its power. Anyways, so I found out he was a poet. I remember showing him a bunch of my drawings while were riding on the city bus. Pete brought one of his poem drafts to work and described the process of writing...it was fascinating to hear of a writer talking about his work.

I was always going to the Rochester Public Library to research articles about her and her films. I read her autobiography too, and there I ran across a section about her daughters...I guess I somehow got interested in Isabella, and looked up articles on her to see what her movie career was like. I went to it about three times, trying to grasp at this interesting kind of visual concoction...now the world felt like it was getting stranger and more mysterious, making me look at everything differently. One afternoon I ran into Pete in the Galleria after a movie, it may have been Wild at Heart, and we started talking about 99
music and got into an involved discussion.

I felt free enough to start showing him my drawings and writings, and I found out he was a poet. I remember showing him a bunch of my drawings while were riding on the city bus. Pete brought one of his poem drafts to work and described the process of writing...it was fascinating to hear of a writer talking about his work. In October of 1990 I was still researching and finding articles on Isabella Rossellini and I found a reference to her in the film Cousins in February of 1989 at The Galleria theatre. No comment on the film itself.

In October of 1990 I remember going on a long road trip with my friend Doug from Minnesota to Champaign, Illinois for the Earth Day convention. And I was telling Doug all about Blue Velvet and the Angriest Dog in the World, and how my mind had been blown. I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this. I remember the full moon outside of the theatre...and then I remember walking out in a wonder...into the night. The film gave me the greatest gift...if I could put what that was into words it wouldn't be the greatest gift. Laura Palmers face, gazing up into the white light in the very last moments of the film.

At the beginning of 1990 I was still researching and finding articles on Isabella Rossellini and I found a reference to her in 132
the New York Times magazine (January 4, 1990) in an article about David Lynch, a guy I had never heard of. There was a still from Blue Velvet that intrigued me, with Isabella, a knife in her hand as she was sitting on Kyle McLaughlin on a bed, and I really liked that picture, something intriguing about that shot...can't explain its power. Anyways, so I found out Lynch was her man and I thought the film was interesting and so I rented Blue Velvet...and of course this film was like nothing Ive ever seen. So, I ended up researching more about this Lynch guy...who the hell would make such a thing? I discovered his Angriest Dog in the World, and how my mind had been blown. I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this. I remember the full moon outside of the theatre...and then I remember walking out in a wonder...into the night. The film gave me the greatest gift...if I could put what that was into words it wouldn't be the greatest gift. Laura Palmers face, gazing up into the white light in the very last moments of the film. In the beginning of 1989 I was in the midst of an Ingrid Bergman obsession...watching every movie I could find of hers. I was always going to the Rochester Public Library to research articles about her and her films. I read her autobiography too, 133
and there I ran across a section about her daughters...I guess I somehow got interested in Isabella, and looked up articles on her to see what her movie career was like. I went to see her in the film Cousins in February of 1989 at The Galleria theatre. No comment on the film itself. After graduating in the summer of 1990 and I went to it about three times, trying to grasp at this interesting kind of visual concoction...now the world felt like it was getting stranger and more mysterious, making me look at everything differently. One afternoon I ran into Pete in the Galleria after a movie, it may have been Wild at Heart, and we started talking about music and got into an involved discussion. I felt free enough to start showing him my drawings and writings, and I found out he was a poet. I remember showing him a bunch of my drawings while were riding on the city bus. Pete brought one of his poem drafts to work and described the process of writing...it was fascinating to hear of a writer talking about his work. In October of 1990 I remember going on a long road trip with my friend Doug from Minnesota to Champaign, Illinois for the Earth Day convention. And I was telling Doug all about Blue Velvet and the Angriest Dog in the World, and how my mind had been blown.

In the beginning of 1990 I remember going on a long road trip with my friend Doug from Minnesota to Champaign, Illinois for the Earth Day convention. And I was telling Doug all about Blue Velvet and the Angriest Dog in the World strip in the September 1990 issue of Premiere magazine and for months I was whirling, my head spinning at such a concept.

Twin Peaks was playing on TV now, but I worked at the library on Thursday nights so I couldnt watch the show. Then Wild At Heart came to town in the summer of 1990 and I went to it about three times, trying to grasp at this interesting kind of visual concoction...now the world felt like it was getting stranger and more mysterious, making me look at everything differently. One afternoon I ran into Pete in the Galleria after a movie, it may have been Wild at Heart, and we started talking about music and got into an involved discussion. I felt free enough to start showing him my drawings and writings, and I found out he was a poet. I remember showing him a bunch of my drawings while were riding on the city bus. Pete brought 150
one of his poem drafts to work and described the process of writing...it was fascinating to hear of a writer talking about his work. In October of 1990 I was still researching and finding articles on Isabella Rossellini and I found out Lynch was her man and I thought the film was interesting and so I rented Blue Velvet...and of course this film was like nothing Ive ever seen. So, I ended up researching more about this Lynch guy...who the hell would make such a thing? I discovered his Angriest Dog in the World, and how my mind had been blown. I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this.

There was a still from Blue Velvet that intrigued me, with Isabella, a knife in her hand as she was sitting on Kyle McLaughlin on a bed, and I really liked that picture, something intriguing about that shot...can't explain its power. Anyways, so I found out Lynch was her man and I thought the film was interesting and so I rented Blue Velvet...and of course this film was like nothing Ive ever seen.

I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this. I remember the full moon outside of the theatre...and then I remember walking out in a wonder...into the night.

I felt free enough to start showing him my drawings and writings, and I found out he was a poet. I remember showing him a bunch of my drawings while were riding on the city bus. Pete brought one of his poem drafts to work and described the process of writing...it was fascinating to hear of a writer talking about his work. In October of 1990 I remember going on a long road trip with 185
my friend Doug from Minnesota to Champaign, Illinois for the Earth Day convention. And I was telling Doug all about Blue Velvet and the Angriest Dog in the World strip in the September 1990 issue of Premiere magazine and for months I was whirling, my head spinning at such a concept. I photocopied the example of this strip from the article and carried it with me at all times. And I wanted to create my own minimalist, surreal comic strip. Twin Peaks was playing on TV now, but I worked at the library on Thursday nights so I couldnt watch the show.

One afternoon I ran into Pete in the Galleria after a movie, it may have been Wild at Heart, and we started talking about music and got into an involved discussion. I felt free enough to start showing him my drawings and writings, and I found a reference to her in the New York Times magazine (January 4, 1990) in an article about David Lynch, a guy I had never heard of. There was a still from Blue Velvet that intrigued me, with Isabella, a knife in her hand as she was sitting on Kyle McLaughlin on a bed, and I really liked that picture, something intriguing about that shot...can't explain its power.

In October of 1990 I remember going on a long road trip with my friend Doug from Minnesota to Champaign, Illinois for the Earth Day convention. And I was telling Doug all about Blue Velvet and the Angriest Dog in the World, and how my mind had been blown. I remember lying down in a motel bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to open my own mind for things...what kind of character and comic strip could I create? As I lay there on the bed in that motel room I came up with a character named Leo, who I first drew as a lion, his design inspired by John Lennons self portrait sketch on the poster for the 1988 documentary called Imagine: John Lennon. When I got home I experimented on Leos design by making him into a Lion, rabbit, and human but he also looked like a hippie, with long hair, glasses and a goatee. Yet I couldnt decide how to place this character into a comic strip. In August of 1992 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was playing and I made a point to watch this. I remember the full moon outside of the theatre...and then I remember walking out in a wonder...into the night.
