Rolling Stones: New York City

Something of the works of Mouse

Deday LaRene

This story is about Stanley Mouse and how Mouse and Kelly and a few thousand friends staggered the commercial and graphic art worlds and the world in general as a result of a lot of smoking of the sacred muggles. Mouse lives in Detroit and pinstripes cars, has long hair for which he is kicked out of high school, goes to junior college, flunks out, goes to art school, quits, goes back, draws monsters on sweatshirts at the state fair and makes a fortune at it.
