From a story about Mark Twain impersonators in Hannibal, Missouri by Ryan Edge
Nice life drawing of an old Pillsbury Mill by William Crook Jr
Page from The Coward of Ghent by Rimki, a story about a work trip gone very bad
Really solid anthology that came in the mail. Loved the story The Coward of Ghent by Rimki, an artist I wasn’t previously familiar with. William Crook Jr’s life drawings give it a Mineshaft feel. There’s a link in the alt text

Always fascinating when people who work in other under-appreciated art forms reveal that they too sit down to a desk to think, plan, and execute their vision in the manner of a cartoonist. This snippet is from The Education of a Gardener, memoir of master landscape architect Russel Page.

It’s amazing that there are people in this world so wonderful as to invent a totally new type of dip nib. I’m still getting to know this one but already love it.

The Kakimori brass nib: shaped like a bullet with slits along the edges, its reservoir holds a considerable amount of liquid. You dip it in your ink and then may vary the width of your line on the page depending on your surface angle.

Portrait of life with a cell phone, or, being psychically tethered at all times to a television, newspaper, telephone, typewriter, and stereo system.

A jam image to accompany a fanzine interview I did with Daniel Clowes back when I was a teenager. At the time he was just about to publish his classic story Caricature and seemed a bit nervous about how it would be received. #clowes #comix

Nib Rot #1 then spotlights “Old Pillsbury Mills” by William Crook, Jr., a series of glorious pen and ink drawings of a shuttered industrial complex in Springfield, Illinois accompanied by a thoughtful essay on the buildings’ history.

Nib Rot #1 also features “Pre-Post-Apocalpytic Drawings” by Paul Nudd, a steaming grotesquerie of pustulent orifices, barbecued tumors, and potted brains all rendered in Nudd’s inimitable imagist style.
