I grew up loving Wallace Tripp's "A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up And Tied His Horse To Me", and as I grew older and more aware of the history of illustration, fine art, comics, etc. my respect for his work grew.. now I stumble upon this, and suspect that Mr. Tripp has been a fan of one of my all-time favorite artists, George Herriman.. Tripp captured the sly, reflective dialectical poetry of Krazy Kat perfectly. Thanks for the chance to see this!

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
