Who is this Wilcox you speak of?
I was born on Monday June 6, 1960. I'm the youngest of 4 children, a lifelong Connecticut resident, and I despise broccoli, cauliflower, Tom Cruise films, and Oprah. I make my living as an artist / writer / photographer / musician. I have been an internationally published cartoonist since 1983 working on a vast array of titles such as Amazing Spider-Man, Elvira, Little Archie, Excalibur, & Felix the Cat for many of the major publishers. A professional photojournalist since 1984, my interviews and photographs of entertainers from Kate Bush to Amy Grant to Frank Zappa have appeared in Relix, The Boston Phoenix, and Gannett Newspapers among many others. As a graphic artist, my work has been exhibited internationally as well as auctioned at the bloody famous Sotheby's. Throw in a book or two I've written or edited in the past and that's a decent snapshot of my professional life. I'm a cranky 6' 3 1/2" fat guy and have several music projects in the works, so look out, mook!
