~J.T. YOST . . . IT’S DREAM TIME, SNOOP DOGGY DOGG
J.T. YOST – 3rd annual BROOKLYN COMICS and GRAPHICS FESTIVAL, NYC – shared a table with JAMES MOORE and VICTOR KERLOW. Dec 3, 2011
J.T. YOST.
like I said, it was the TABLE of the THREE WIZARDS, one from the left, one from the right – and one at the very center. J.T. YOST was the wizard from the right.
meaning ?
J.T. works from the same deck as CHARLES SCHULZ – a low key, but wicked take on the small things – that really matter !!
you know: traditional Sunday paper comics !! story lines and all. and yes, I have been called Peppermint Patty – more than once over my lifetime, so I would know.
J.T.’s take on the world – is very kind of: very old soul in a young – wish he was hip – body !! and going gently south – – quickly. or is that, cynically, fast ? I guess he knows best – because ‘OLD MAN WINTER’ – is he !!
ARRRGH !!

“Are you kidding me?” – “You can’t take all this junk with you !! Most of it was MOM’S anyhow!!” – “Surely you don’t need a closetful of women’s clothing. . . or this ashtray.” – “You don’t even smoke!“.

J.T. YOST – ‘THINGER DINGERS’ !!
omg x 1,000 – got to dedicate this to CHARLIE (BROWN) FINCH at artnet – the colorful scribe who put the surly but vastly poetic word: DINGLEBERRY – into legit play in his recent, and vastly mis-guided CATTELAN take-down. yep, you can now throw your thinger dingers in the politically correct, academic, and vastly up-tight, snooty comes to mind, lexicon of art world criticism – thanks to Charlie and his generous editor, Walter Robinson. and I mean that, sincerely.
dingleberry going in the wrong direction – aside !!
ha. a fellow contrarian at heart !!
J.T. YOST – ‘THINGER DINGERS’.
