It's been awhile since I last published my highly selective tale of visual art off the beaten track and into the blue. Here's my latest in this arty series of low/high brow. It's an art tale. The lines of time in art that jump ahead and behind and into the future are fuzzy because they are art lines which don't need to be factual. Thank god. So they grow underground and above ground. I jump between the up and under because you see they often merge and are from the same place. All of these artists are thieves of time.

This mythical art I speak of is alive and well and will continue as long as humans have paint, spray cans, silk screens, crow quill pens, magic markers, charcoal, lead or any at hand means to create draw and continue create art the outside the gates. Kilroy is alive now, then, and will be as long as people are still around. Regardless of technology artists will both low tech and high tech get it out there Always have always will.

Some got it however and some do not as far as arting goes. So I'll hit the ones in the '60-'70 era that in my highly subjective perspective trip the light fantastic.

War what it is good for?

Zap Comix
It got my artistic attention
Oh Boy!

#1 was published in San Francisco in late 1968. It featured the work of satirical cartoonist Robert Crumb
.....After the success of the first issue, Crumb opened the pages of Zap to several other artists, including S. Clay Wilson, Robert Williams, "Spain" Rodriguez, Gilbert Shelton, and two artists with reputations as psychedelic poster designers, Victor Moscoso and Rick Griffin. This stable of artists, along with Crumb, remained mostly constant throughout the history of Zap,

I believe Robert Crumb started it. Only !2 issues? That can't be right for a comic book that that blew my mind, yea, yea. Now Robert Crumb is an offensive cartoon man. I could not find one image of his other then this that did not offend. Other then this.

Lately it occurs to me ....

So time to go to bed. Next up sooner then later the artists who Zapped starring Rick Griffen , Victor Morocso and others. After that we hit the god awful artwise 70's. Oh wait the Brits will hit the floor and save us all from balloon type and airbruching. See you people Next week. Meanwhile ..
