Either Into The Ether Or… | Will Bruno

 

October 3–30, 2013 | White Gallery

It’s hard to find time to draw comics. It takes soo much of it. Just sitting there at a desk in your basement. The other day I was on break, taking a walk in my neighborhood, admiring my new pair of Blundstone boots I received for my birthday. Besides their comfort and protection, I am fond of their classic design. They have a simple construction. Ferdinand Hodler painted some handsome boots on carpenters and on a particular Young Freedom Fighter. If I could find a pair of boots like those, I’d buy them.

Did you know Winslow Homer was a special artist? Yep, he was sketching on the front lines in the Civil War. I bet he knew a thing or two about freedom.

I hear that they came out with a new Grand Theft Auto last week. When I was like 20, I moved to Mammoth, California to snowboard with some friends. I broke my collarbone in the first week and wound up stuck on my friend’s couch for a month playing that game. I swore off video games after that. Now I just do psychedelics. Just joking.
