"MY FAVORITE ARTIST!!!" Paul ReubensHey Dork! is the second in a trio of sketchbooks from pop-culture design icon Gary Panter. Letting loose his imagination, he populates the pages with hundreds of critters, creatures, and dudes that could only come from the brain behind "Jimbo" and the wacky environment of "Pee-wee's Playhouse." Complete and unedited, "Hey Dork!" contains eight months of outpouring from Panter's hyperconsciousness, including test strips, doodles, and drawings of the extraordinary. Sketches of psychedelic creatures and hypnotic women buzz, skip, dance, and hop from Panter's mind and onto the pages with manic, crosshatched energy. His signature distressed, shaky line art transposes a stream of consciousness wholly befitting his reputation as the original punk rock cartoonist. Most remarkably, not a single page is amiss; each one is a fascinating world a feat to be admired by comics fans, visual artists, and sketchbook enthusiasts alike.Panter's comics are currently featured in the Masters of American Comics exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and the Hammer Museum and will travel to Milwaukee, Newark, and New York City."
