Jim Flora article in NY Times

Just an FYI that there is a short Jim Flora article in Today's NY Times. Both Shag and Irwin Chusid are quoted. There are a couple of color reprints of Flora LP cover art from the late 40s and 50s.

Here's the Web link to the story:

You may have to "subscribe" to read it, but it takes two seconds to do it and it's free.

I ran across this music video on youtube

Does anyone here know if this animation is an homage to Jim Flora or did he illustrate this video? It's pretty groovy for a pop song.

Also, there is a new book on Jim Flora coming out in 2007 from Fantagraphics. More info here
