TAPEWORM JOE TAPEWORM JOE TAPEWORM JOE

From the confines of my bag, I reveal here for the first time, to my extremely limited audience, the VERY FIRST images of a rising star. TAPEWORM JOE. They were drawn at some point in 2003-very ancient-and since then ol' Joe has graced the cover of many fine Magazines, completed a talk show curcuit, and shot a pilot for NBC* He also has his own myspace page-check it out @http://www.myspace.com/tapeworm_joe
He'll be talking about love, life, and lower intestines.

* none of this actually happened

Here he is today....boy...time sure has been kind to him...watch for him in the future, cuz he's gunna be BIG (or not...either one)

BABY'S FIRST LINO-CUT

That's right, I made a LINO-CUT...and, NO I didn't go to Emily Carr to achieve artistic snobbery...though a graduate from there was the one who showed me how to do it and provided the tools...hmmm...the image itself was flopped in Photoshop, because I didn't take into account that the image need be created in reverse so that when stamping it comes out right. Needless to say, if I can just stop ONE person from making that same mistake, then maybe my life won't be in vain.
