Fakeout
I was filing some artwork in my art morgue (where terminal art goes to die) and I ran across a comic strip that ran in the New Times in the seventies. My high school life was still quite raw in my mind
and I created this strip called "Fakeout" about a young high school
girl with horn rim glasses who, in 1963, is visited by her future self
and gets to go back in time and live… Continue

Wyoming's "Cowboy Ethics" Code: Get the Full List Here!
If you have not already heard, Wyoming's Gov. Dave Freudenthal signed into law on Wednesday a state code of "Cowboy Ethics."
One of our readers, Tom Winiecki of Phoenix, Arizona, e-mailed Bob Boze Bell to tell him he read about the news in today's Arizona Republic. "I believe that the state of Arizona would be a better place if we could enact it here," he says.

"...create a society to match the scenery."
I came across this quote today that made me think of what we try to do here at True West:
"...create a society to match the scenery."
Here's Wallace Stegner's full quote, in case you're interested:
"Angry as one may be at what careless people have done and still do to a noble habitat, it is hard to be pessimistic about the West. This is the native home of hope.… Continue

Tiger Woods Is Not At My House
On Monday The Arizona Republic reported that Tiger Woods was seeking treatment for sex addiction at a private residence in Cave Creek. When I got into the office someone cornered me and said, "Your wife is a therapist. You can tell me, is Tiger at your house?"
I can categorically state that Tiger Woods is not at my house at the current time. He and I are hardly friends and while my wife… Continue

Early Exits
As I mentioned, over the weekend I was cleaning out the garage and found a drawer full of photos chewed to shreds by packrats. However, one photo survives and it's a very early shot of our band The Exits:
A couple notes: Yes, a packrat bit out of the top of the photo and two, notice that the film was developed in May…

Lt. Ives Image Captured In "Worthless" Canyon
Went to yoga this morning for the first time in a month. Felt good.
Mark Boardman flew in yesterday and we went over editorial plans for the rest of the year. Lots of good ideas all around. I'm very excited about what we have coming up. He spent the night at our house and took off this morning for Shakespeare, New Mexico and points beyond.
Speaking of Mark, last week I put out the word that I needed a photo of Lt.… Continue

Loser Mountain & Nocturne Moon
Over the weekend I worked on a scratchboard illustration of a general who lost several times in the Civil War and still ended up with a mountain range in Arizona named for him (along with a fort and a road):
The challenge: how to illustrate General McDowell as a loser without denigrating his character? Well, how about…
