Max singer is an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator, photographer, artist and designer whose work has appeared in numerous national publications including Artnews, the NYTimes and NY Magazine, to name but a few. Max's career began as an award-winning cartoonist on his college paper. Subsequently Max moved to New Orleans to become an Underground Cartoonist (ala R. Crumb) for the Nola Express. Even those stoned-out hippies were clueless as to the meaning of his work and so Max moved on and became a "humorous illustrator" working for publications in New Orleans and Nationally. Max moved to New York to join the world-famous Push Pin Studio. His political cartoons were featured in New York Newsday as well as High Times and Hustler. Along the way he created animated commentary for Hard Copy tv news program, wrote sketches for SNL and was a standup comic at the Improv, NY. His Homefront Comix was a prescient response to 9/11. Max survived the Bush years writing and producing the e-zine ScurrilousRag. As an artist, his unique, colorful and bold illustrative style of imagery has been exhibited widely both in his homebase of New York City, in particular at such music and club venues such as the Knitting Factory, as well as various outsider and contemporary venues in his spiritual home of New Orleans, and was featured in the documentary Blood Brothers: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Max is a member of the New Orleans Photo Alliance.

A tale of mere whimsey for those unfamiliar with that which I am spoofing.
