Gav is currently doing most walk ins, and he’s been doing some really cool stuff lately. While Ian is extremely busy, we have managed to re-work the diary so that there will always be some available space for walk ins each day. Here’s some work from him over the last few days: He has very little space, but he’ll always try his best to book you in as soon as he can. You can see some work from him here!ĭue to everything that’s going on right now, now is the time to book in with Ian if you want to get in with him this year. You can drop into the shop to check with us for availability over these days, though please be quick, as his spaces are also very limited. Speaking of guest spots, please don’t forget that our friend Guy Neutron is here for the next couple of days! He’s here from London’s Love Hate Social Club, and can give you the cleanest, coolest tattoo you’ve ever seen. So, whether you’re on the east or west coast, you have until then to make sure you can get over to either shop for something cool! Make sure you can plan as quickly as possible, though, because spaces will be very limited. After this, he’ll be with the guys at Spotlight in LA, from October 1st until the 7th. ![]() I’m always happy to hear from other folks interested in the medium.We are extremely happy to announce the dates of Ian’s next guest spots in America, at two of the best shops in the country! Ian will be back at Three Kings in Brooklyn in September, from the 23rd-30th. If you have any questions or comments about the blog site, please do contact me. If you would care to see that body of work, please visit my website at As the name suggests, the work is free associative, incorporating text and characters and symbols I’ve developed into a mixed-media mishigas. Over the past few years I’ve been combining my love of painting, drawing and the narrative arts into a body of work I refer to as Free Association Funnies. I primarily teach the painting, drawing, graphic narration and illustrations courses, and take great pleasure in introducing the works of cartoonists and graphic narrative artists to my students. In the real world, I’m a Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where I’ve been teaching since 1991. I don’t plan on being an ink-slinging snob on this site, as folks like Denys Wortman brought more to the table than just ink, but the focus will likely be black and white ink drawing. That work may have expressive line work, or it may be drawing with beautifully spotted blacks, creating movement throughout the piece. While I appreciate technical facility in drawing, it’s the work of the ink-slingers that I find most enthralling. My love of artwork is not media-specific, but pen and ink drawing holds a special place in my heart, hence the title of this site and blog. In the end, I collect what I love and write about those artists whose work resonates with me most. ![]() Through my research and interviews, I try to shine a light on artists whose work may have slipped through the cracks of comic art history. I’ve also had the pleasure of interviewing some wonderful artists, including Blake, Ralph Bakshi, Russ Johnson, Mel Casson, Creig Flessel and Rick Yager. Along the way I’ve done a fair amount of research and written a number of articles about various artists in the field, including Bud Blake, Gregor Duncan, and Jay Irving. ![]() I’ve been collecting original comic strip, cartoon and illustration artwork for roughly 40 years.
