Sorry, Caryl, not for us. We specialize in cartoonists, but not poetry, even by Bukowski. Nor our realm. Have you tried Black Sparrow Press?  —Denis

Thank you for contacting me. However, this project, while interesting, doesn’t lie within our strengths.
We could not do it justice. The best of luck to you in finding it a proper home!

Well, maybe the mainstream publishers aren’t the right venue anyway.
Keep promoting your work as I’m sure some right-minded publisher will see the excellence in your stuff. But do make sure you send copies to Harvey Pekar.
He always needs artists for his AMERICAN SPLENDOR comics series and I suspect you’re perfect for his work…

Your stuff is great! I love it!

Take care,

Jon

Just had a look.  I have been kicking around a bunch of ideas with
frieds of Bukowski for years.
About a comic book of some of the stories that the artists or writers
had with the master. Some of the people were George DiCaprio (father of Leonardo) and Spain
Rodriguez (zap comix), who had wonderful stories.  I really like how you have laid out
the art and writing.

How many pages have you? 
What is the state it is in? 

Best,  Ron Turner, publisher last gasp

Bukowski meets Strzelecki
A brilliant combination of drawings and literature.

Absolutely worth a visit, this brandnew and growing website of artist Caryl Strzelecki, featuring a unique combination of the poetry of Charles Bukowski and the illustrations of Strzelecki. Don’t miss it!

Dear Strzelecki,
great cartoons, wish I could have shown this drawings in my lecture on Toon Hank on Bukowski in Cartoons I held in San Pedro in 2000.
But maybe next time,

Best from Berlin Falko

Yes, I’ve got your drawings, but I have been abroad and there wasn’t any time to look at them.
I did that right now and it looks very good.
It reminds me a somewhat of Crumb, who has also illustrated Hank’s work, I think.
I hope you consider that as a compliment.

Greetings

Everybody’s Famous
Dominique Deruddere’s EVERYBODY’S FAMOUS, which was Oscar nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2001 Academy Awards, is a charming Belgian film about the lengths to which people will go to achieve fame and fortune.

Crazy Love
Taking his cue from stories from the cult American author Charles Bukowski Deruddere’s film tells a story of a man’s life in the course of three nights spread over 20 years. We see Bukowski’s hero Harry Voss first as a romantic young boy of 12 then as an acne-ridden teenager lost in unrequited love and finally as a drink-sodden dropout for whom no act is too dreadful to contemplate with terrible and yet deeply moving consequences.

Wait Until Spring, Bandini
The way in which the film was made,between hope and despair, with a black and heavy atmosphere, telling a woman which accepts all from her husband by love for his children, convinced me. Ornella Mutti, which is one of the most known Italian actress, is beautiful as always in her role of wife, Faye Dunaway, older than usual, is the perfect image of the black widow and Joe Montagna gives all of himself as leading actor. In spite of the time spent between my first and only vision and my vote (more than 10 years) I always have in memory the course of the action, and that is the proof of the quality of film made by a Belgian director, and for Belgium is yet a success.

Hi,
Just amazing!    Is there any plan for a print edition of these?  
If so, I know about 50 people that would be interested…

Best,
Bill

Nice work with the Bukowski Gallery, we really enjoyed it!
I created a link to your site at http://www.alternativereel.com/links.php.
I’m going to be out of town next week but when I get back I will create a review page for your site.
Thanks for sending us a link.
