Almost anything related to comic art and comics history. And my never-ending ballroom dance lessons. Check out www.dancingforanimals.org for more info!
Music
I seem to listen to a lot of Leonard Cohen lately, although I have picked up the new CDs from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Alice Cooper, and the Tiger Lilies. Also been enjoying Hogzilla-- live at various venues around NYC.
Movies
I don't really have favorites, but when pressed to name a favorite movie I'll mention both The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and The Long Goodbye. I was also very happy with Spider-Man movies.
Television
Hard to watch much, but my current favorite is The Wire. I also enjoy Curb Your Enthusiasm, Flight of the Conchords, and Dexter. And if I get home early enough, I try to catch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
Books
There are so many great books I hope to read, that I doubt if I'll live long enough to read most of 'em.
About me: I'm the Editor-in-Chief of a new graphic novel publisher called Papercutz (www.papercutz.com -- we currently publish TALES FROM THE CRYPT, BIONICLE, NANCY DREW, THE HARDY BOYS, CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED, and CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED DELUXE!), and a trustee on the board of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (www.moccany.org). Because MoCCA and Papercutz are both new ventures, it's vitally important to get the word out about how wonderful they both are. Not just to comicbook fans, but to everyone who enjoys pop culture.
And that's why I'm here -- to spread the word. To get more people, such as YOU, aware that great comics exist and are out there waiting just for YOU!
Who I'd like to meet: I'm always looking for people who are interested in volunteering for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art! We need you to make this wonderful organization even more wonderful.
I have had so many requests for this that i am sending it again. Those that have seen it please understand. Thank you Erik
Life is a journey through many terrain From gardens of pleasure to deserts of pain From an ocean of love to a jungle of hate From Mountains of glory to canyons of fate.
There's a highway for joy and a highway for sorrow A Road for today and a road for tomorrow.
So choose your path wisely and walk with care If you follow your heart, you'll find your way there.
I've been to the garden and planted seeds there. I've been to the desert and felt the despair.
I've swam in the ocean and drank of it's wine I climbed up the mountain to touch the sky.
I went to the canyon and started to cry I've traveled both highways, both today And tomorrow.
I've basked in the joy And wallowed in sorrow. My Path has been chosen and I've walked it with care.
I followed My heart and I'm on my way there
So I'll just keep walking till I find what I'm after. To Mountains and oceans and Gardens of laughter.
