Charles Bukowski [from "Born into This"]

Bukowski- Born into This [Trailer: Pat Moriarity Cartoons]

My cartoons are in this trailer. (Don't blink or you'll miss it!) Go rent this movie. Not long before his death, I created some comics interpretations of a few of Charles Bukowski's poems, with his knowledge and cooperation. Via Dennis P. Eichhorn, Buk provided me with poems to interpret. He endorsed and cashed every check. Most importantly, to me, he liked the comics, let me do another, etc. A few panels of our comics are shown in the movie. They are flashed by quickly in the trailer, but the drinking cartoons are from the comic book title called BIG MOUTH. Some of these books are still available here

Another Bukowski comic I illustrated appeared in ZERO ZERO issue one, from Fantagraphics. Another cartoon trivia note about the movie- Eichhorn has some original cartoon art, drawn by Bukowski himself, that appears at the end of the movie.

Wurlitzer Organ: Tremulant Vibrato Nanny Goat Sound Hated By Purist Farts [Doc Pt. 2]

Since I posted that last organ video, I received some requests to put up more of this program. The first part showcased the organists. This video continues with additional discussion devoted to the history and mechanics of the organ as well as a few tours of organs installed in homes. It would be interesting to know if these installations still exist.
