since 1999 this has been the personal website, blog, archive, message in a bottle, calling card, digital garden, rough draft, and curriculum vitae of me, joe crawford. hi.

Next week the Comics-themed group show starts up at Subterranean coffeehouse in North Park. It’s a great neighborhood to come hang out in. Bookstores, art stores, costume stores, used toy stores all in a tight radius. Great coffee and food and a mellow hangout. Follow @arthang_sandiego & @subterranean_northpark for more and get down there. I have a piece up called “Cousins.” There are some really amazing pieces for this group show.

Nice picture. I didn’t know Astro Boy and Micky mouse were considered cousins.

I hope you guys have fun.

Osamu Tezuka watched and was inspired by early cartoon animation, including specifically Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse and many Disney animations. He created Mighty Atom / Astro Boy in 1952 and had been watching Disney movies since elementary school.

One could say that I consider them cousins in my own headcanon! They definitely share design features that feel related.
