jdc104 artist profile is in the Modesto Bee this morning

I put a more detailed comment on my profile on KatnAnna's local choices site on my career in cartoons in Riverside. My friend, artist Penny Meyer, actually read in around 1981, the four to six issues of Running Fruit series from Ad Infinitum, my strip that ran for half a year in San Diego area, where I didn't get paid or even knew about it as published four years after last drawn, and had moved to Modesto. Someone recently emailed to confirm whether a underground comix zine from 1971 might be mine, it was my signature, but likely a publication by friend Jim Mitchell. Its a hazy, smokey memory of those days anyway, so any drawing I did might not come to memory, short term, or cough... likely why I haven't smoked more than cigars in a very long time now...

Yes, I really don't draw with pencil very often.  Today I am in the Modest Bee Lifestyle section, artist profile as featured local artist.  Here's how I answered the questionaire, just hit the links.

I have read up on quite a few art friends in that feature, that is part of Sunday paper every week in the Bee. My only regret, no pics in the online version, but pretty nice large pic in paper of the painting.
