Andy Warhol

  "The Warhol Museum on the North Side this morning announced the discovery of new images created by the late artist Andy Warhol on an Amiga computer in 1985.
  "The images, saved on files and trapped on floppy discs, were part of The Warhol’s archives collection, but could not be viewed because the technology to extract them had become obsolete... 
   "The museum release said Warhol’s Amiga experiments were the result of a commission by Commodore International to demonstrate the computer’s graphic arts capabilities."

The Inner Ear

"True literature can exist only where it is created, not by diligent and trustworthy functionaries, but by madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels, and skeptics."

Vote Dizzy

“I had a real reason for running,” Gillespie wrote in his autobiography, “because the proceeds from the sale of buttons went to CORE, SCLC [the Southern Christian Leadership Conference], and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and I could threaten Democrats with a loss of votes and swing them to a more reasonable position on civil rights.”

Underground Classics- The Transformation of Comics into Comix
James Dankey and Denis Kitchen
Abrams ComicArts
New York 2009
"No longer burdened by pretentious notions of making 'art', I am concerned with refining and communicating specific ideas of changing others' conciousness. This is pretentious, but it's much more fun."
-Justin Green

"...contrary to what you've been told by pop-culture historians, comics did not exactly begin in the 1890's with The Yellow Kid or Little Nemo. As an art-driven storytelling medium, comics go back at least as far as the mid-nineteenth century and, arguably, to Goya, the Greek and Roman frescos, the Bayeaux Tapestry, and the cave walls of Lascaux."
-James Danky and Denis Kitchen
