My friend Derek Kirk Kim, cartoonist turned film auteur who's also responsible for the short documentary about the garage (Raina Lee vs. The Infinite Garage) just completed a hilarious web series called Mythomania about the life and times of indie cartoonists. These aren't the guys who draw steroid pumped dudes in capes, but the ones at the small press ghetto at Comicon with Xeroxed and stapled autobiographical masterpieces. Zinesters and other misunderstood artists will be able to relate!
I lent Derek a few nerd props to decorate the cartoonist's living room, such as my life size Han Solo cut out and Bladerunner Laserdisc (mounted on the right wall), the Director's Cut. So I had a minor infatuation with sci-fi era Harrison Ford in high school. Notice my friend Vivian Bang (right), who sported garage fashions last year in her shoot with Vivica Fox. I'm glad the garage gets around!
Anyway, awesome job for a first time filmmaker. Congrats, Derek!

I miss this blog :3 Still show it to all my friends.
i like your post
I enjoyed how this post captures the creative energy of independent artists and the way a personal space can become part of the story. It also shows how much character a location can add to creative work and everyday life. For anyone interested in finding a place with a balance of nature, lifestyle, and local character, exploring related Northern property options can be an interesting starting point.
