ok... well, speaking of Goldmine and Big john Koenig.... if you have any of the mid-70s issues with john's column, you will see some of my illustrations for his column and also for his zine at the time, Cowabunga.... there was a great Sky Saxon cover for him that I did, for example... i've since become very self conscious about my limited drawing abilities but i was most proud of a comic strip page I did for the What Goes On! velvets zine that recreated the Brian Epstein / Lou Reed meeting in a cab.... it got reprinted elsewhere, i think i find it's always fun to come across old mags or lps and suddenly realize some of the names are now familiar from recent acquaintance via lists and/or meeting up with people....
