I don’t get it either. I have no idea when this was done. Maybe it was started in the 90′s and completed now. Maybe it’s old, maybe it’s new. I have no idea when it was posted (although I’m pretty sure it was in the last couple of weeks) I do know that Mark Martin [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | September 16th, 2011 | Leave a comment

I’ve been to the Palm at it’s JFK International Terminal location a few times but had not noticed this rare gem before (apparently by master monkey artist Carmine Infantino, but looking nothing like his work) The cartoons [...] [...] 
Apparently you’re dead, Don. It’s been a long time. I miss seeing you around the old neighborhood. God, we used to talk and talk. You always had something going on. Usually bizarre, often sad, or at least bittersweet. Always something interesting. We all used to talk about Dori. Leslie, Adam, Kristine, you. The crew. It’s [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | October 29th, 2010 | Leave a comment

I have been an avid fan of Javier Mariscal’s art since first encountering his Garriris comics in Raw Magazine at the age of 12. When I got to visit Barcelona for the first time, apart from the buildings of Guadi and the museums of Picasso, Dalí and Miró, I was most excited to see what [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | December 30th, 2009 | Leave a comment

I wish I’d taken the time to find out who this is, but I was on the way out the door when I took the shot.
