(pg 8) is a New York based visual hound dog, bred in the toxic state of New Jersey. He earned his B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and is currently an M.F.A. candidate at the New York Academy of Art. His work centers on the perversion of popular culture debris. Over the past decade Barton has shown his work between New York City and Providence, with several solo exhibitions including “Hot Hide”, “Comex or Becamus”, and “Body Of.” He is a President’s Scholar at the New York Academy of Art and was awarded a residency at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City (2005) and the Leipzig International Art Programme in Leipzig, Germany (2011).

2) CAPTAIN PANDAPANTS (ROSCOE ‘Rocky” PANDAPANTS) (pg 106) is known to his close
friends and clients at “Captain Pandapants”, and although he has never served in the uniformed services, he was made an honorary “Kentucky Captain” by Mayor Hugo Chumma, at the Sedalia, Kentucky “old home day’”parade in 1989. Although he spends much of his time in Kentucky, he has tasted the fruits of many a state and town. Once, he even spent nine months as a chemical taster for the Mobay Co, Inc. in Trenton, NJ, where he yearned for the open road—and the open fly! He later found both. In reality the Captain is Brian Hanlon who lives in New Hampshire with his lovely wife. He is collector of odd ephemera which he enjoys incorporating into his animation and collage work.
