Morty Comix # 2595

Morty Comix # 2595 was slipped behind the velcro of a seat pouch in a small jet at Newark, New Jersey. The craft looked pretty much like the one in the last photo.

Postcard - Tumwater, Washington

"Olympia Brewery and Mt. Rainier, Washington. Majestic Mt. Rainier, 60 miles to the east, stands guardian over all. The scenery is great in Washington State."

1970s, I'm guessing.

I was invited to Pittsburgh to be part of a mission-- to assist Obscuro Bezango show curator Tom Rehm in setting up the exhibit at the Future Tenant gallery.

It is interesting Pittsburgh International Airport is not named after anyone. I propose they name it Borpo Deets International Airport after the mysterious West Pennsylvania art guru who apparently was a mentor to Tom, Maximum Traffic and Buzz Buzzizyk.

Anyway, I noted that a large T-Rex skeleton greeted me at Borpo Deets International Airport. And somehow, feeling like an old Newave dinosaur as I dove into this project, this seemed appropriate.

Tom took me up to his sanctuary in rural Butler County, where he had an extensive collection of art on display by Traffic, Buzz, Deets, himself, family members and friends. It is an impressive gallery I was honored to visit. Here's a sample:

The ceramic coin kiln!

They say an unintentional skull can be seen on the left hand side

Morty Comix # 2594

Morty Comix # 2594 was tucked into a table leg support while I was drawing another Morty Comix (#2605 to be exact) while waiting for my flight at SeaTac.
