The Larry and Molly Show pt. 2

 Here’s the second installment of the Larry and Molly Show. This time featuring --me.
In the olden days I drew cartoons for publications. I was involved in the Underground Comix scene but contributed to more ‘mainstream” publications as well. 
Over the years, I gravitated to printmaking (primarily linocuts) but have always maintained my affection and allegiance for my two favorite colors—black and white.

The Larry and Molly Show

 Molly and I have always planned to ‘some day’ do a show together. Finally after a couple of decades of organizing monthly shows in the Maurice Del Mue Galleries of the San Geronimo Valley Community Center I decided it was our turn.

                            Clipping from the Marin Independent-Journal

Molly took one room (it’s the one full of color) and I took the other (black and white).

Here’s Molly:
