My dear friend Evanice Holz continues her rampage through the art world with 3 new interviews featuring phenomenal artists: J.R. Mankoff, Jesse P. Thomas & Tom Gallant. Eva has talent for prying into the nitty gritty of the artist’s psyche which makes for entertaining and insightful interviews and I’m so damn proud of her. Happy reading!

André the Giant
Gargantuan professional wrestling legendIn 1953, fresh off the success of Waiting for Godot, Beckett bought a plot of land near the hamlet of Molien, in the commune of Ussy-sur-Marne, about forty miles northeast of Paris. There he built a cottage for himself with some help from a group of locals, including a Bulgarian-born farmer named Boris Rousimoff. Over the years, Beckett and Rousimoff became friends and would occasionally get together for card games. Rousimoff had a son, André, known as Dédé, who was something of a physical marvel. By the age of 12, André was over six feet tall and weighed 240 pounds. No school bus could hold him, and his family lacked the means to buy a car big enough to schlep him back and forth to school in Ussy-sur-Marne. Enter Boris’ old card-playing buddy Beckett, who owned a truck and was more than willing to pay his friend back for his help with the cottage by giving a lift to his enormous pituitary case of a son on his drives into town. Years later, when recounting his conversations with Beckett (which he did often), André the Giant revealed that they rarely talked about anything besides cricket.

So how does this work? Does Japan get raptured first? Does Hawaii have to wait a full day to get theirs? Can the inhabitants of Fiji take a small boat ride across the international dateline to Samoa to tack on an extra day to their lives?
