Hey, good morning, Happy Tuesday! Today celebrating Art Spiegelman's 74th Birthday! Yep!

Unless you have been living on another planet for the past 40 years, you certainly know that Art Spiegelman is a "cartoonist, editor, and comics advocate best known for his Pulitzer Prize awarded graphic novel Maus".

His work as co-editor on the comics magazines Arcade and Raw has been influential, and from 1992 he spent a decade as contributing artist for The New Yorker" -wiki

"In 2004 he completed a two-year cycle of broadsheet-sized color comics pages, In the Shadow of No Towers, first published in a number of European newspapers and magazines including Die Zeit and The London Review of Books. A book version of these highly political works was published by Pantheon in the United States, appeared on many national bestseller lists, and was selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2004"- a wonderful article here: https://barclayagency.com/speakers/art-spiegelman/

I was honored to be able to include this "in-studio portrait" of Art in my book "The Artist Within". Have a look around.
