Promoter Rich Engler Talks About Marley’s Last Show:
“they came in to do a soundcheck. I was looking around for Bob and found him in the dressing room, sitting on the couch, looking depressed and ill. I said, ‘I heard you’re not feeling well. I’m concerned. I hope you’re feeling better. Are you going to play?’
"He said, 'Mon, I wasn’t going to, but I’m going to for my band and everybody. It’s a sold-out show. I’m going to do it.’ ”

Frank’s buying the house next door - he already raised the money but he doesn’t have the cash on hand yet because the crowdfund ends after closing on the house. So he’s borrowing from family and industry friends and paying them back. However now he’s trying push to get it fixed up - please share if possible!! We need eyeballs more than money right now.
WOOF xo

I scored some rare minis and a sammyharkham original through Frank’s auction! Sammy’s comic Poor Sailor first convinced me of the power of this medium and I’m so excited to have an original from him! You, too, could glimpse into the minds of your comics heroes through some of the items that Frank is auctioning off.
I have tapped out my resources but you could win some awesome stuff AND support a very interesting future opportunity for furthering the comic arts.

Howzitgoin? Good, good. Me? Good, thanks. I gotta tell ya though I’m sorry to bother you again, but y’see somethin’s been troubling me and I can’t stop thinking about it. Kept me up all night. and the dog too cuz he thought I was getting up to take him to Cincinnati. What’s that? Oh. Sorry. Cincinnati is what I call the park. Cuz if I say “park” or “walk” then he gets crazy. So we say Cincinnati around here. Yeah. So. Where was I? Oh yeah. This thing has been bothering me and it’s this thing about commodity form as community form. What’s that? Oh. “Commodity form as community form.” Yeah, it’s a mouthful. And sort of puzzle. What does it mean? I don’t know. Or I think I know. Either way, I keep thinking about it.
I’m helping out Frank to raise money for his comics schoolhouse/residency in Pittsburgh because taking his correspondence pushed me artistically and taught me to approach comics in a different way.
But then–perhaps what is more important for my continued, and hopeful long term, commitment to comics making–is that Frank folded me into the community of alumni who had taken his course. I feel that I can relate to every one of his former and future students because of the shared experience, even though, as he mentions here, many of us have not met in person. He gives all of his alumni access to the Comics Workbook tumblr and from that platform they can share their work, whatever level, together with established artists like Simon Hanselmann and Aidan Koch and others. It’s something special for a beginner comic artist to feel open to share in a forum together with comics luminaries like that. And it can be helpful in building an initial readership.
I haven’t posted to the CW tumblr in a while because I’ve been cooped up working on a year-long project. But that doesn’t matter. The invitation to the community doesn’t go away; I know that once I pack up the last artwork for this current gig, I can start drawing my own stuff again and post it to CW. I’m grateful to Frank’s embracing spirit and what his approach could do to improve the future education of comics art and the establishment of communities of comics creators around the U.S. I’m glad that he is doing it, because honestly, I think I (and other creators) can get a bit too wrapped up in their own creative work to look far outside themselves. I’m hoping to attend Frank’s residency once it’s established and hopefully get some insight into how I can make community building a more active part of my own relationship with comics.
I realize that this long-winded praise piece has just doubled the time you’ve taken to engage with this topic–if you read Frank’s post–but if you did take the time to read this, take the time to shoot Frank an email at [email protected] and check out what he’s auctioning. Whether you just want a piece of original art by a favorite cartoonist, or you believe in what he’s trying to achieve–I think it’s worth your time.

I’m visiting my former hometown of Pittsburgh, so I got to see some familiar sights today, as well as some beautiful new ones… like Patrick, who kinda fell right in my lap.
Popular Southside Coffee House To Close
What to even say about the Beehive Coffeehouse? It’s synonymous with my youth. Venturing down to the city on my own those first times, meeting musicians, artists, writers, it was an incredibly special place. I fell in love there, mended a heart broken there, met interesting people, read & studied for hours, went on dates, met up with friends. So much of it’s a blur, but there are times I’ll always remember.
I cant say I’m surprised it’s closing. It went downhill for like 8 years, since they got a liquor license & kicked the kids out. That’s when it lost its soul. The demographics of the neighborhood changed, with rents too high for the art scene. It also became pretty sketch down there on the weekends, culminating in a murder at the neighboring sister-bar, the Rowdy Buck, in 2017. The Beehive was only the second coffee house in Pittsburgh when they opened, now there are 150 coffee spots. Also youth culture changed. Kids are friends with everyone they ever met on Facebook. Know everything that’s going on through ig & snapchat. There isn’t a need for an ‘alternative culture meetup spot’ anymore. The ‘hive also didn’t adapt to the Third Wave of coffee well. I could get a better coffee or latte at an increasing number of places, so went there less & less. They even ditched their original mocha recipe a few years back.
My final Beehive phase was when I went back to school. I was a regular, mainly cause it was so quiet that it was a good place to study. You’d get some sketch people going through, some old-school regulars that never moved on & some Point Park & Duquesne kids. With late hours, there was always a table & wifi available to study though. The next generation of artsy kids just never discovered it & stayed, but mostly you didn’t need to travel across the city or out from the suburbs to get coffee anymore & kids just meet & stay connected through other means now.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Go Grab a copy of my new Album or save it on Spotify &
Use the hashtag #womenareart to support women & their beautiful bodies bc women in business, big or small, including sex work SHOULD NOT be suppressed for the sake of an algorithm and ad sales.
Old white men in politics & tech have dictated how OUR lives should run based off of what THEY prefer for their business…. no more… enough. Our “safety” is not your concern and never was… for the most part unless ofc it’s effecting your algorithms. You’ve held the majority power for so long, ease up & let us take the wheel
