Phil Yeh's guitar is an intimate part of something the Cartoonists Across America has called the Guitar Project. As is stated on the web site at http://wingedtiger.com/CAA/events_news/theguitar.html :
Patrick Bubien, the owner of Guitarification: Custom Guitars and Basses, has donated a wonderful custom-made guitar to Cartoonists Across America's worldwide campaign to promote literacy, creativity and the arts!
CAA's president and founder Phil Yeh has been traveling all over the world with this guitar, getting many notable people to draw and add their signature, including; legendary writer Ray Bradbury, Gary Owens (Laugh-In), MAD magazine's Sergio Aragones, actor Alan Alda (who painted with us almost 20 years ago in Los Angeles), For Better of For Worse creator Lynn Johnston, Star Wars artist Steve Leialoha, Simpsons artist Phil Ortiz, Gumby writer and creator of the Flaming Carrot, Bob Burden, Mutts' creator Patrick McDonnell, Foxtrot's Bill Amend, Dinotopia's James Gurney, writer Peter Straub, and many others. The list keeps growing, and the space on the guitar is nearly full.
The guitar continues to tour with Phil at major book and art festivals and we hope to, one day, have a nice exhibit of the guitar at the Cleveland Rock & Roll HALL OF FAME, making the connection of art and rock that has always existed in this world. |
