Rand Holmes Retrospective Art Show Trailer

This is an interesting film. I love Rand Holmes' comic art and have a Harold Hedd comic or two. Very insightful footage.

I've always had this inane fantasy of going to the Anchor Hotel in Gastown and seeing Elmo's chopper parked out front. :)

Dang, I still have the two Harold Hedd comics sealed in plastic in mint condition. I'm always tempted to open them up and read them again, but I've resisted the urge so far. Harold Hedd was so much more enjoyable and relevant than the Furry Freak Brothers.

Both comics are reprinted in the new book, as well as an unpublished 1975 Harold Hedd story. You don't have to break the seal on your collectibles.

I always liked his work a lot, and Rosenkrantz' book made me realize that he wasn't just another hippie goofing off in print but a serious, deep and emotionally complex artist. A REAL artist, if you get my meaning.... I hope I get a chance to see this film. Thanks, Patrick.

One of my heroes. I'm an artist, and he has inspired me for years. I never knew about Harold Hedd, but I discovered Rand Holmes in Death Rattle .

This is a short excerpt from the half hour documentary, which will be included with the book The Artist Himself: A Rand Holmes Retrospective, soon to be released by Fantagraphics Books.
