So today, Sept.17th 2014, it became official. My 1986 independently published "Rappin Max Robot" comic book and some of its original drawings, concept sketches and source materials was purchased and is now part Cornell University's Hip-Hop collection of rare books and manuscripts to be archived and preserved forever. Another great moment in my artistic journey.

: Marvel's Jack Kirby street-naming dedication party, at Society of Illustrators, with a room full of creatives that shaped the comic book industry. And yes, I went into fanboy mode for a picture with the great Frank Miller.
Thank you as always to Patrick A. Reed for the invitation and introductions to all the heavy weight creators that were in that room. *📷 Delancey, Essex, Jack Kirby Way photo by @midtowncomics@soi128@marvel@jackkirbycomics@jackkirbymuseum@frankmillerofficial@djpatrickareed
