This 3-page comic was directly influenced by reading the late Bill (Sleazoid Express) Landis’ excellent “Anger: An Unauthorized Biography of Kenneth Anger” (HarperCollins Publishers, 1995). All that strange “magickal” stuff underground filmmaker Anger was so concerned with made me wanna draw ritualistic cosmic orgies & such. Very inspiring read. I drew it for Montreal artist Eric Braun’s fun-fur covered self-published comic zine 106U #5 in 1997. (To see full-sized, keep clicking on the images to open them in a new window & use the magnify function).

Montreal gallery/antique shop Monastiraki AKA Le Petit Monastère (5478 Blvd. St-Laurent) is celebrating its 16th anniversary this Sunday, August 17, from 2 to 8pm, with “cocktails, a collage table, and live music throughout the day.” Here’s a comic strip interview I did with the guy who runs the joint, Billy Mavreas, back in 2008, for The Montreal Mirror. I always pop in the place to say hi whenever I bike by. You can buy some of my comix there too. I had a sculpture exhibition there the year after this interview. Check out the video for it HERE. (To see full-sized comic, keep clicking on the image to open it in a new window & use the magnify function).
