he did a zine thing in the late 80's early 90's called Flesh Horse (look at the 5th post from bottom) - that was done in that specific style, i wish i had some copies of that zine!
my funny but sad steelpolebathtub story: i saw them play live in the early 90's, it was an unusual venue outside the usual "grunge circuit" at this club in Buckhead (yuppietown), anyway, before i went to the show i went by the Book Nook & spent what little money i had on a nice spiralbound fullcolor David Sandlin artcomic... the show was great, they jammed down the house, but i wanted a t-shirt & didn't have enough money, so after their set they were setting to the side & i approached them & asked if they would trade a t-shirt for a David Sandlin book & they did the trade, sadly, as is often the case, a girlfriend later absconded with the t-shirt !!!
i've lost so many of my cool t-shirts to xgirlfriends!!!
& damn, those David Sandlin things are fairly rare, so i ended up losing both ways!!
i've always loved this strip,
Gary Panter did the cover art
ReplyDeletefor spbt's album "scars from
falling
down"
Wow, that's fuckin' fantastic!!! Do you have any idea who drew it?
ReplyDeleteEven before I read your comment I was going to say it reminds me of Gary's Zomoid!

my funny but sad steelpolebathtub story:
i saw them play live in the early 90's,
it was an unusual venue outside the usual
"grunge circuit" at this club in Buckhead
(yuppietown), anyway, before i went to the
show i went by the Book Nook & spent what
little money i had on a nice spiralbound
fullcolor David Sandlin artcomic...
the show was great, they jammed down the
house, but i wanted a t-shirt & didn't have
enough money, so after their set they were
setting to the side & i approached them
& asked if they would trade a t-shirt for
a David Sandlin book & they did the trade,
sadly, as is often the case, a girlfriend
later absconded with the t-shirt !!!

fairly rare, so i ended up losing both ways!!
i edit'd the post to ammend
ReplyDeleteDale Flattum's authorship,
i contacted him for permish
if this post was okay
& he said yes.
funnily, he also told me
that the David Sandlin book
i had traded was swiped by
one his xgirlfriends, ha!
it comes full circle.
