found art

I was walking down the street the other day and this awesome drawing came blowing down the sidewalk towards me. At the exact same moment I found this drawing, two dogs came running at me, barking, while I simultaneously attempted to leave a message on a friend's answering machine. It was an epic moment. I used to draw trees almost just like this, except I always made the trunks impossibly fat compared to the tree tops.

  2. Thanks Owen! Starting this blog has been really great for me, and it's amazing to be discovering a bigger community of people because of it. To answer your question, I do like R. Crumb quite a bit. Are you into the comics scene in France? A lot of my favorites cartoonists are from over there.
