About Me

As a post-Beat Neo-bohemian Miguel makes notes from an underground subculture sensibilty and is not old but is not young. Eventhough he loves the fine artists Heronymous Bosch and William Blake he really, really loves cartoons! and the ones he loves the most are the E.C. comics artists, those in Mad Magazine (especially Basil Wolverton) and rock poster artists spawned by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's studio (especially Jeff Gaither but also R.K. Sloane, Johnny Ace and Dave Burke). He also loves the "low brow" art scene instigated by Robert Williams and most of the stuff printed in Juxtapoz magazine (but not everything 'cus you can't like every thing) Miguel also likes the quazi fine art cartoons of Peter Saul, the Hairy Who and Gary Panter. Plus Miguel likes dark gothic shit like H.R.Giger, and R.S. Connet but also silly gothic like Edward Gorey, Charles Addams and Tim Burton.

Alas, The Giger Period.
