Folks:
This is the first art collaboration that my son Kyle and I have done together.
My friend, Jim Shortt, contacted me last week about making a cartoon of a
young lady in a wheelchair trying to get into a place called the Garden In
The Heights (Formerly Bavarian Gardens in Houston), and being greeted by a
sleazy doorman, telling her: "that'll be 5 bucks extra for the wheelchair,
babe." Seems this lady contacted Jim, who puts on benefits for folks in need
featuring bands who volunteer to play at places who donate their space, and
told him that she had tried to put on a benefit there for her father, and
they charged her $500 right off the top. Jim was angry about that, and he
intends to make that rip-off known. Any- way, I said yeah. I know just the
guy to draw this. Kyle. So Kyle drew it and I took it up to the office (on
my day off) and colored it by making the scan of Kyle's drawing transparent
and putting the color behind it. I am pleased with the result, but I am just
so dadgum proud of Kyle for stepping up and doing it. I love his style. Sorry
about the download time. Enjoy.
Love, Johnny B
