Jared Cullum in the SPX Collection at the Library of Congress

OK, I lied.  There’s one thing better…

We loved jaredlovestodraw’s SPX 2013 strip so much that we asked if he might allow us to preserve it as a part of the SPX Collection at the Library of Congress.  As Warren describes below, Jared very kindly agreed.

We don’t take any request for someone’s labor or the product of it lightly.

So for Jared to allow us to house his work at LOC, where it can be preserved, protected and available for study and display for all time was truly amazing.  Best thing ever.

Boy, were we blown away by Jared’s totally dope story about his experience at SPX 2013. It is a great story with fantastic art, for sure go out and read it all here.

We got a hold of him about getting the originals for our Library of Congress collection, which were done in old fashioned, 19th Century, analog, pen and brush to paper, replete with ink and paint. (have no idea if he drew it by candle light or not….)

And OMG!! He agreed and sent them to us!!

We cannot thank him enough. Here are the originals being held by the Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Division Curator for Applied Graphics, Sara Duke. Her smile is the way we feel about getting these preserved forever.
