High and Low in Steeltown U.S.A.

October 3rd, 2010 by Dan Nadel

Went to Pittsburgh last weekend to give a talk.

Stayed with Frank Santoro. Which meant immediately spending 3 hours here:

And doing a lot of looking at stuff like this:

and this:

We call this "the source"

Also, late nights somewhat like this:

Frank’s house is easily identifiable (his neighbor, in a bit of friendly competition, has the Superman logo on next to HIS door.

But Frank truly does live in Storeyville. Look at this block!

Anyhow, we did a ton of awesome driving and visited the Pittsburgh comics wrecking crew.

Tom Scioli, Jim Rugg, FS

New, enormous pages by Scioli

Bill Boichel and the awesome Copacetic Comics

And of course I got to see Frank work. Here he is prepping his airbrush.

Some hours later:

And naturally I gave my talk

And we even made it to the Carnegie where I spied this gorgeous Al Held painting.

And that was that. See ya Pittsburgh! It was fun!
