John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie
October 21, 1917 - January 6, 1993
It’s the birthday of jazz giant Dizzy Gillespie. What better occasion to put on some bebop and look at a very cool picture of Dizzy blowing his horn at the White House. June 8, 1979, Jazz Concert on the South Lawn with President Jimmy Carter.
I’m very pleased to say that I own a print of Maris Wicks’s Roller Derby Dazzler. I saw it across a crowded Artists’ Alley and knew I had to make it mine.
Marvel is really missing out on an awesome idea here, don’t you think?
