BIG NEWS

Tales Of The Starlight Drive-In (Paperback)
by Michael San Giacomo (Author), Various (Illustrator) I'm one of the various

I'm in a book on sale on amazon!!!

Publisher: Image Comics (May 10, 2008)

http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Starlight-Drive-Michael-Giacomo/dp/0973896671

Product Description
Tales of the Starlight Drive-In is journalist-comic writer Michael San Giacomo's tribute to that great American institution - the drive-in theater with 26 stand-alone stories set in a drive-in theater from 1955 through 2005. While each can be read separately, together they form one complete tale of the rise and fall (and rise?) of a drive-in through stories that cross all genres including humor, romance, crime, horror, adventure, western and even super-heroes. Each story has a relationship with the movie playing at the time. Most are in color, except for those before 1962 and a few special stories that just needed to be black and white. Characters come and go, but Neil the projectionist is the rock who is there all the way through from the beginning to the end.

I was given this painting by my Grandmother ,Lollie Prince,it is called Apples, . Lollie Prince will always be GranLollie to me,the greatest inspration for my artwork. I remember summers at a little town 3 blocks by 13 blocks where the York and Potomac river meet,called West Point.Walking to town with her to shop during the day and drawing and painting at night. There was one night I remember drawing a picture of my Uncle Bob until midnight with grandlollie sitting in her chair. I was so happy the next day showing my grandfather. He looked so proud that Grandlollie's talents were in me. I think this was the first moment I wanted to be an artist. Today I got a call from my mother that GrandLollie was on her death bed.
