As mentioned earlier, I have been doing quite a bit of cartooning this year, and one of my regular gigs is a wonderful literary magazine called 'Beatdom'.
Issue #10 of Beatdom, 'The Religion Issue', just hit the cyber stands, and I couldn't be more excited.
Beatdom, as per the website, is 'a non-profit literary journal dedicated to the study of the Beat Generation.
We are dedicated to improve the state of modern literature by publishing poetry and fiction inspired by the Beats.
Since its inception in 2007, Beatdom has been published by City of Recovery Press, and edited by David S. Wills.'
This marks the third issue to feature my work, and contains my personal favorite contributions thus far.
My artwork accompanies a short story by editor Michael Hendrick of his brief involvement with the 'Church Of Bible Understanding', whom Seinfeld fans my remember was parodied as the Vacuum Cleaner Cult.
Next, a portrait of Lenny Bruce accompanies an interview with the late great comedians daughter, Kitty Bruce, about what it was like to grow up with the comedian as her father. A real labor of love that I think payed off really well.
And what is going to be a regular feature begins here, with an original piece of art gracing the back page of the issue.
Of course, this isn't to take away from the loads of other great articles and artwork featured within, all on the subject of religion and the beats. Where's the connection? Read on to find out! www.beatdom.com
The issue is selling for $9.99, and can be purchased here: BUY
Special thanks to Michael Hendrick and David S. Willis
The artwork is spectacular! Congrats!
