Title: Cartoonist loves his freakish job
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on July 27, 2007, 02:05:13 PM

Another DS fan gets his day in the spotlight: Cartoonist loves his freakish job (http://www.sptimes.com/2007/07/27/Northoftampa/Cartoonist_loves_his_.shtml)

(And why do I suspect that, as cool as we've always thought it to be to be into DS, once it gets the Depp treatment, it's going to become a whole lot cooler to be into DS?  [wink2])

He's the creator of those orange retro cards that were available at the '03 Fest.  Seemed like a really nice guy.

I thought he looked familiar. And, yes, he was a very nice guy and very pleasant to talk to.

I particularly like his card series because it includes many photos that have never been made available elsewhere.  [thumb]

Thanks Midnite.

John Graziano does his best work when he's surrounded by aliens, monsters and shrunken heads.

So does Martha Stewart, strangely.   Anyway, I was disappointed at there being no way to view his DS stuff.   Oh well.   Maybe Google.

You didn't mention if you tried, so you may have found JG's website, but for his DS pics only I found these:

The artist's ebay page, with an Angelique drawing and a Barnabas sculpture: http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=grazman

This page on Bobubas' site has a sketch of Louis Edmonds' DS characters: http://bobubas.topcities.com/big_lou__page_8.htm
