Who is the author of the comic book “Peeps,” portraits of street friends?”
Lower East Side artist and musician Michael Rimbaud painted painted 50 portraits of personal friends and people he approached on the street. Many of these works were exhibited in 2005 and 2006 at The Theater for The New City Gallery (155 1st Ave. at 9th street) in an exhibit entitled “Lower East Side Portraits/” You can see images of the works at: http://www.thevillager.com/villager_101/capturingthelocalfolk.html and read more about the artist at http://www.thevillager.com/villager_145/lowereastside.html He’s got a website at http://www.mikerimbaud.com with more pictures and contact info Some of the images have a comic-book like quality. This may be the artist you’re looking for. I can’t find anything about a comic book, called “Peeps” however.
