----- Original Message -----From: Christian JohnsonTo: Christian JohnsonSent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 3:03 PMSubject: Invitation to Participate in a Dave Stevens Memorial Show on Geekerati RadioDear Friends and Colleagues,
As you may have heard recently, one of our own, Artist/Creator Dave Stevens has passed on after a lengthy bout with leukemia. Dave was noted for being the creator of the comic book turned movie, The Rocketeer, and the artist responsible for rekindling interest in 1950's fetish model Miss Betty Page.
The fact is that Dave - in his variety of interests including comics, film, movie serials, pinups, jazz, comic strips, aviation and cartoons - touched all of our lives in one way or another. He was a master craftsman who diligently labored over every drawing, making it the best work it could be, expressing the love he felt inside for his subject.
To celebrate the man and his work and to increase awareness of the disease which took him too soon, We here at the Geekerati podcast are dedicating our next podcast to Dave Stevens. We would like anyone who has stories about working with Dave, meeting him at conventions, or his work to call into our live show on Monday, March 17th, 2008 (7pm PST) to share. If you know anyone who has worked with Dave Stevens please forward this email so that they may participate.
