Eddie Arning (1898 - 1993)
Hikers in Forest, 1972
Crayon on paper, 32 x 22 inches
Smithsonian American Art Museum
Institutionalized for most of his adult life, Arning was introduced to drawing in 1964 by a hospital worker who supplied him with materials. Arning’s medium from 1964 to 1969 was Crayolas. In 1969, he switched to oil pastels, or “Cray-pas.” Regardless of his media, Arning always worked in the same manner, covering the entire surface of the paper with dense strokes of color. He stopped drawing in 1974; a year after leaving his nursing home.

I drew this at the end of last summer before everyone moved away and before we knew we had a place to live.
Spring came early this year, and the weather’s been nice lately. I’m looking forward to getting tanned up and taking naps in the sun.
You should buy these books.
^^ Why Maré excels at internet. Perfect summary. Thanks, man. :)
These books are at the printer’s right now. And yes, they’re easily some of the best comics I’ve had the chance to publish. :) And I just feel like.. they’ve captured a specific time for a specific type of comic. Can’t express how psyched I am about how everything turned out. More soon!

So, I’m basically finished /w this comic but my scanner is dead and gone and the pages sit in limbo. Have hope that they will see light soon. Also, the MS tribute on the drawing book. :)
