<mask> (Hangul: 이수명, born 1965) is a South Korean poet, critic, and translator. Her poetic style has reputation of being unfamiliar and difficult, but some also comment that she is a classicist as well as a modernist. One critic has said that she has already "laid out a completed road", upon the genealogy of modernism and that "many younger poets are working on that road", emphasizing the fact that her poetry was pioneering in how she overturned common usage of words and stereotypes. Life
Born and raised in Seoul, <mask>g studied Korean language and literature at Seoul National University. Her debut publication of 5 poems in the literary journal Jakkasegye (Writer's World) won the journal's 1994 New Writer Award. In 2007, she received her doctorate from Chung-Ang University with a study of Kim Ku-yong, a major literary influence. Her monograph is one of the pioneering works about the hitherto rarely discussed poet.She is known as one of the poets that represents Korea's modernism since the 1990s. She has published many essays on poetry, critical essay collections, and research papers on modernism. She has won the 2nd Park In-Hwan Literary Award in 2001, the 12th Hyeondaesi (Contemporary Poetics) Award in 2011, the 12th Nojak Literary Prize in 2012, and the 7th Yi Sang Poetry Award in 2014.

texts: like Wallace Stevens, Paul Celan, and René Char. Renowned for the "impenetrability" and the deceptive "tidy-style," <mask>'s works, some critics claim, may be interpreted as the search for a radical way to "let things, not humans, speak". <mask>'s first poetry collection was Saeroun odoki georireul mewotda (새로운 오독이 거리를 메웠다 New Misreading Filled the Streets).The title signifies poet <mask>g's critical mind. Misreading is the act of distorting the linguistic content, but from the poet's perspective, language inevitably becomes in discordance with reality. <mask>g accepts this fact, and instead of attempting to do the impossible dream of copying reality accurately, she attempts to overturn everyday phrases. On that aspect, <mask>g was a poet who "started from the position of reflecting on the violence of lyric poetry and poetic subjects that have become a constituent custom" (Park Sang-su). However, that does not mean that <mask>g's poetry is just speculative and ideological. In contrast, what she focuses are efforts on capturing minute feelings during a specific moment. Instead of conventionally describing that, she tries to restructure it with her own lucid and fantastical language.<mask>g's poetry can seem ambiguous, but by revealing a new aspect of an object that doesn't converge on an already established conceptual meaning, her poetry is evident of her critical mind that wants to offer readers fresh, raw feelings and imagination. Her poetry often features unusual expressions. For instance, she writes sentences

 where time and space are distorted such as ‘children streaming through the air the stairs are playing’ or ‘One day I was conforming to my stone throwing. I was amongst the stones that I was throwing.’ Through such expressions, <mask>g makes a very particular poetic universe. Thus, <mask>g's poetry is not read much by the public. However, her works have earned the acclaim of the literary critics from the 1990s, and even now she is having great influence on younger poets. Early on, her poetry had many works that used ‘ice’ as a symbolic image for everyday life.Meanwhile, from the 2010s she has used the image of ‘water’ more often, switching the positions of the poetic subject and the narrator. Such experimentation was a result of attempting to find a world potentially there that does not actually exist. Works

In 1995, the plaque was moved to the Cooma Memorial and the committee involved with the relocation decided to erect a diorama based on a painting in the Australian War Memorial depicting stretcher bearers bringing in wounded soldiers under heavy shell fire at Mont St Quentin during the First World War. A local artist and sculptor, Chris Graham, was commissioned to undertake the project which was constructed from steel and concrete. It was erected in the Cooma War Memorial area on 23 April 1996.The inscription on the memorial reads:

<mask> (1956-2014) was an American painter. His paintings are a hybrid of ancient and contemporary Latino subject matter in the Cuzco School style of Madonna painting, lowrider culture, New Mexican traditional retablo painting, and representations of the colonialist encounters between Europeans and Mesoamericans. Early life
Abeyta grew up in the small village of Santa Cruz de la Cañada (population 423) near the town of Española, New Mexico. He is of Basque descent. As a child, his family lived in several trailers. He was raised in the lowrider culture of Northern New Mexico. He has been described as a "precocious child who drew constantly," and credited his father for providing him with the encouragement to draw as a means of communication starting at a young age.While <mask>'s father was on active duty in the U.S. Army, they would correspond with one another in drawings. Education
Abeyta received a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the University of New Mexico in 1982. His art professors sought to cultivate an abstract expressionist style of painting, however, Abeyta taught himself, through trial and error, illusionistic baroque lighting techniques to render the human figure. Personal life

Abeyta moved from New Mexico to the East Village of New York city in 1986. Seeking more work space and lower rent, he settled into a warehouse studio in the North Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. In 1989 he met his future wife, Alyssa Jill Glantz (d. 2017), a business woman and community organizer from Manhattan, whom he married in 1992. They had two children, Elija and Izzy.The couple was active in the North Brooklyn

 artist scene, and established the bar and entertainment venue Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They also co-founded the restaurant Hotel Delmano, as well as other venues in Greenpoint and Williamsburg. <mask> was affectionately known as the honorary Mayor of Williamsburg. Abeyta was a classic car and vintage motorcycle enthusiast, and owned and restored a 1956 Ford F100 pickup truck and a 1968 Triumph motorcycle. He was the co-owner of Works Engineering, a vintage motorcycle repair, machining and detailing shop in Brooklyn. Throuout his life, Abeyta remained close to his New Mexican roots, its history and culture. Professional career
The iconography of Abeyta's paintings has been described as a mixture of "colonial, baroque, indigenous and pop culture" references.Abeyta's work was the subject of numerous one person exhibitions, including major exhibitions at the Museum of New Mexico, and the National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum. His work is held in the permanent collections of these institutions. His work was included in the exhibition, Painting the Divine: Images of Mary in the New World at the New Mexico History Museum. He was influenced by Spanish Baroque painting, Mexican retablo and ex voto paintings as well as other vernacular visual sources such as codexes, maps and nautical charts. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions, including the San Francisco Mexican Museum, the Rotunda Gallery (Brooklyn) among others. Abeyta's paintings are represented by the Owings Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Themes

Hybrid cultures

The painting Indios (Indians), 2002, presents the viewers with two


texts:
 side-by-side cartouches that address the notion of mistranslation, a favorite theme of Abeyta.The painting refers to the mistaken belief that Columbus had reached the East Indies in Asia, when he actually reached North America. The painting questions the term, "indian." The artwork is in the style of an 18th-century religious painting similar to those of the highlands of Peru in Bolivia. In the left cartouche we see the Mesoamerican deity, Quetzalcoatl, and on the right, Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and transformation is depicted. Abeyta has painted Quetzalcoatl with four eyes that resonate with Shiva's three eyes (two optical eyes and central third eye). Serpents ring his neck to reference wisdom and eternity. The painting intentionally misrepresents iconography to question cultural assumptions.In the 1993 painting, Destilación (Distillation), the mystical, pre-modern scientific practice of alchemy is illustrated by a large alembic vessel. Rather than distilling lead into gold, Abeyta's retort presents a cocktail of "purified" culture. On the left, a white European noblewoman stares at the viewer, while an Aztec man wearing a feathered robe turns away, "as though declining the distilled beverage." In the foreground, a Black child holds a silver tray towards the noblewoman, representing "the forced importation of Africans into the New World" while a naked boy aims a bow and arrow at the European woman. Literary references

In the painting Hold Fast (2004) Abeyta references Herman Melville's 1851 novel, Moby-Dick, with a portrait of the South Pacific harpooner, Queequeg, covered with Maori-like tattoos,


texts:
 with harpoon in hand and wearing a stovepipe hat, standing amid the gridwork of a nautical map. As the only crew member of Captain Ahab's ship, Pequod, to survive the encounter with the whale, he appears "savage yet serene", unflappable among white society. Pre-conquest Mesoamerican mythology
Abeyta created many paintings inspired by the mythology of the pre-Columbian era.The work, La Ofrenda del Espejo (The Offering of the Mirror) (1995) shows the downfall and humiliation of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, by Tezcatlipoca, the smoking-mirror god, who tricks Quetzalcoatl by getting him drunk on pulque. Quetzalcoatl then mistakenly sleeps with his sister, causing disgrace. In a vignette within the painting, the drunken Quetzalcoatl wears a mask (la mascarilla) with European features, including pale skin and a blond beard. Spanish colonialization of indigenous peoples
Numerous paintings depict historical or mythological events and figures from pre-conquest Mesoamerica, for example, the painting, La Ofrenda I, Tenochitlán (The Offering, Tenochitlán),  depicting the pivotal moment of contact between the Aztec people and the Spanish conquistadors. Vernacular culture of New Mexico

Many of Abeyta's paintings portray the vibrant vernacular culture of New Mexico, for example, Modelo (2002) showing three men and a woman standing around a red lowrider car; the sky is filled with ornate pinstriping similar to the decorative paint jobs on hot rod cars. Abeyta's 2004 painting, Ofilia Y Lallorona (Ophelia and La Llarona) references the La Llorona folklore tale of a mysterious weeping woman dressed in white who


texts:
 appears as a nocturnal wanderer who then disappears into a lake. The tale, which was told to Abeyta as a child, is shared throughout the Southwestern U.S. and in Mexico, to frighten children into good behavior.Sainthood and mysticism
In the painting, San Antonio (Saint Anthony) (1994), the Portuguese priest is depicted in a state of suspended animation, hovering upside-down above a hole in the ground. An empty pedestal is at Saint Antonio's side. The scene is surrounded by a pastoral setting of trees and foliage. Monograph
A monograph on his work, Cuentos y Encuentros (Tales and Encounters): Paintings by <mask> <mask>, was published in 2003 by the Museum of New Mexico Press. Collections
Abeyta's work is held in numerous private and public collections including those at the Albuquerque Museum,
New Mexico Museum of Art, the National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum, the New Mexico History Museum, the Mexican Museum (San Francisco) among others. Awards
In 1995 and again in 1996, Abeyta received grants from the Art Matters Foundation. In 2005, Abeyta was awarded a grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation.Death
Abeyta died in a motorcycle accident at age 58, when he was struck by a truck in Brooklyn, New York. References

<mask> (11 November 1926 – 26 November 2009), was a British photographer, born and raised in South Africa. He started his career in Johannesburg and moved to London in 1968. <mask> is best known for his contribution to in-camera image montage, Haskins Posters (1973) and the 1960's figure photography trilogy Five Girls (book) (1962), Cowboy Kate & Other Stories (1964) and November Girl (book) (1967), plus an ode to sub-saharan tribal Africa "African Image (book) (1967)  . He suffered a stroke on 19 September 2009 the opening day of his exhibition to launch Fashion Etcetera at Milk Gallery in New York, and died at home in Bowral, Australia, nine weeks later. Youth
<mask> was born in Kroonstad in the province of the Orange Free State of South Africa. His father Ben was a goods inspector on South African Railways. Early creative influences were fueled by an interest in magic tricks, kite making, drawing and the circus.A talented athlete, as a teenager he excelled at hurdling and trained with a circus, resulting in a job offer as a trapeze catcher. Education
His formal higher education was at the Johannesburg Technical College 1945–1948, where he did a general arts course followed by a part-time photographic module. Between 1949 and 1951, he studied at the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts in Bolt Court, later renamed the London College of Printing, and now the London College of Communication. Marriage and children
<mask> married Alida Elzabe van Heerden in 1952 and they had two sons; Ludwig (4 August 1955) and Konrad (27 January 1963). They adopted a daughter, Heidi in 1960, but she died in infancy. Alida gave up a career in fashion soon after their marriage to become <mask>' business partner. She played a key role in the launch of his career by acting as a publishing agent for Five Girls when he was still an unknown photographer.She continued to negotiate worldwide publication of his books, apart from Fashion Etcetera, his last project, a book and exhibition in New York,

<mask> started his career as an advertising photographer in Johannesburg in 1953. He ran what was probably the first modern freelance advertising studio in Africa. He produced commercial work across a very broad spectrum of photography from still life to industrial, fashion and aerial.His first formal creative output was a one-man show at the popular Johannesburg department store John Orrs in 1960. This featured black-and-white photography of models in the studio and included some photographs of dolls made by the young Elisabeth Langsch, who went on to become Switzerland's leading ceramist. His international reputation and his signature photographic passions were established by four key books published in the 1960s. Five Girls (1962) explored a fresh approach to photographing the nude female figure and contained important first explorations with black-and-white printing, cropping and book design, which were a key feature of his subsequent books. Cowboy Kate & Other Stories (1964) was probably the first book to deliberately explore black-and-white photographic grain as a medium for expression and image design. It was highly influential at the time, sold roughly a million copies worldwide and won the Prix Nadar in France in 1964. It continues to influence contemporary photographers, film makers, fashion designers and make-up artists.Cowboy Kate & Other Stories or 'Kate' as the book is often referred to, had its place in photographic history cemented in 2005 when the International Center of Photography in New York included the book in their exhibition The Open Book: A History of the Photographic Book from 1878 to the Present.November Girl (1967) contained key image collages which formed the basis of many graphic and surrealist experiments in the 1970s and 1980s. African Image (1967)

texts: was a visual homage to the indigenous people, culture, landscape and wildlife of sub-Saharan Africa. The images represent a lifelong interest in photographing graphically stimulating environments and formally document his passion for indigenous craft. He broke bones on river rapids and wrote off two Volvo saloon cars on African dirt roads while shooting the book. Despite its international award, this meticulously constructed book, celebrating a love for sub-Saharan Africa, is probably the least known of his major creative projects, but it is coveted by serious collectors of African art and photography. In 1968, <mask> moved to London and ran a studio in Glebe Place just off the King's Road. He worked as an advertising photographer for international consumer brands Asahi Pentax, Bacardi, Cutty Sark whisky, Honda, BMW, Haig whisky, DeBeers, British Airways, Unilever and Zanders, and specialised in the art direction and shooting of calendars, especially for Asahi Pentax in Japan.Although he endorsed Hasselblad for a short period in the late 1960s and early 1970s, his loyalty to the medium format 6x7 camera and lenses from Asahi resulted in a rare long-term association between a camera manufacturer and photographer. From 1970 to 2000, Asahi Optical (later Pentax) produced 30 calendars, of which <mask> shot and art-directed 15 editions including the millennium calendar. No other photographer was invited to contribute more than once. He is still involved with the Pentax Forum Gallery in Tokyo, which hosts his exhibitions. His first contact came in 1967, when Asahi Optical presented him with a 35 mm camera after hearing that he had shot African Image with various competitors' products. In 1972, he produced his first colour book, Haskins Posters. The large-format publication contained pages printed on one side using a thick stiff paper and a soft glue perfect binding allowing the pages to be removed and used as posters.Haskins and Alida successfully published the book internationally

At the time the best-known image from Haskins Posters, a girl's face superimposed on an apple with a bee near the stem, appeared on the cover or in editorials of almost every major photographic magazine around the world. This image was part of a well-publicised visual and graphic experimentation with the apple theme in the 1970s that for a while resulted in photographic journalists nicknaming him '<mask> the Apple man'. The images in Haskins Posters traversed different creative themes that all became signature passions for <mask>' image-making over the next three decades; graphically strong compositions of nudes characterised by a natural essence in the models, while the image-making explored themes of graphic experimentation, humour and sensual eroticism. <mask> had a recurring theme (rooted in his training as a painter) of creating tension in the surface of his photographs between flat graphic elements and 3D chiaroscuro. Those results were often achieved with sophisticated lighting and/or double exposures.A highly creative and design driven approach to lighting almost always played a key role in <mask>' work, both in the studio and on location. He often developed complex lighting designs for a single specific shot that were never repeated, a late example being a fashion shoot for New York magazine's 75th anniversary issue shot in New York's Pier 57 studios in August 2006. <mask> also often sculpted and painted graphic elements for his photographs and drew inspiration from a combination of surrealism, illustration, film and modern graphic designers. The graphic experiments first seen in Haskins Posters and related exhibitions at London's Photographer's Gallery and National Theatre, resulted in a book called Photo Graphics (1980). The title of the book coined a new term in photography that has since become widely used. <mask>' next book, <mask> á Bologna (1984), resulted from an invitation

The publication was accompanied by an exhibition in the city.This project led to two more homages to visually rich locations shot over a series of visits; Barcelona (1991) and Kashmir (between 1992 and 1994). From 2000 to 2005, he focused on fashion photography for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Allure and New York. A shortage of copies of the original edition of Cowboy Kate & Other Stories (1964), which was selling to collectors for up to US$3,000, led <mask> to bring out a digitally remastered 'director's cut' version in October 2006, published by Rizzoli in New York. Apart from image editing and layout revisions, the new version had 16 pages of new images. In 2002, <mask> and Alida moved to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, and built the third house-studio of their partnership. The move away from London resulted in a renaissance in <mask>' fashion photography. While he had always had a passion for fashion from the start of his career, and Cowboy Kate influenced fashion designers, who credited <mask>, he had not been courted by the mainstream fashion world and did not court them.A shoot for Yves Saint Laurent in Paris in 2002 resulted in a 'rediscovery' that led to a stream of assignments in London, New York, Paris, Tokyo and Sydney, working for fashion houses and magazines. In December 2006, a month after his 80th birthday, the first retrospective exhibition of his work (with a portraiture bias) opened at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra (Australia). That was also his first exhibition at a national museum/gallery. The show ran for four and a half months to 22 April 2007. The exhibition contained several portraits of other artists never seen before, including one of the late Jean-Michel Folon, a graphic artist much admired by <mask>. Although one or two of the images from that personal portrait project had previously been published, the majority remained part of a quiet collection built up over decades of

In 2009, <mask> published, under the family imprint The Haskins Press, his first book in 24 years.Fashion Etcetera is a thematic slice through his archive that explores a lifelong passion for fashion, style and design. The book was produced over three years working in close collaboration with his son Ludwig and his grandson Oren, and is dedicated to Ludwig and Oren. In 2009, the last year of <mask>' life, his "Fashion Etcetera" book and exhibition received widespread global publicity, and in the process, turned images of Gill from 'Five Girls' (1962) into one of the new-found icons of the 1960s.

Slide show

<mask> developed a medium format slide show comprising up to 500 images, each displayed for seven seconds, synchronised to music. They were shown with a traditional manual projector operated by <mask> using a darkroom timer. First shown in Brighton at an international photo conference in 1970, the show was hugely popular, filling theatres, cinemas and convention halls at photo conferences and public performances in over 50 cities around the world.The initial format of the slides was 6cmx6cm, because all <mask>' medium format images at that point had been shot using Hasselblad and Rolleiflex cameras. <mask> took delivery of his first Pentax 6x7 in 1970 in Tokyo but it took several years to build up a body of 6x7 slides. The conversion of the slides to 6x7 format took place in 1975 and it was at that point that the show gained a much higher profile internationally. Teaching and assessing

The rest of his teaching was usually at one-day workshops at photo conferences and to groups visiting his studio.<mask> maintained close links with Syracuse University in the US, hosting groups of visiting students at his studio in London every summer from 1975 to 1988.

<mask> (December 29, 1916 – March 25, 2016 ) was an American abstract expressionist artist who began his career as a federal artist for the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression and later became a member of the 10th Street galleries and part of the New York School during the 1940s-60s. His work has elements of the mid-20th-century New York artistic experience such as Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist and figurative aspects across several media such as watercolor, oil, and acrylic as well as etchings, lithographs and monoprints. His work has received a global reputation and is included in many collections in the United States and worldwide. Life

<mask> was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1916. He began his studies at the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial School, then at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and at the Barnes Foundation. During the 1930s, he received funding from the Works Progress Administration. As a Pennsylvania artist, he produced paintings, murals and prints depicting Depression-Era themes of work and society.He also experimented with printmaking, which led to his co-invention (with Michael Gallagher and Dox Thrash) of the Carborundum printmaking process. Mesibov also invented the Color Carborundum Printmaking process. One of Mesibov's notable commissions by the United States Department of the Treasury Section of Painting and Sculpture (later known as the Section of Fine Arts) was to paint the mural Steel Industry in the post office in Hubbard, Ohio. By the late 1930s, Mesibov's work displayed aspects of social commentary and current events with cubist, surrealist and modernist elements, such as his abhorrence of war's destruction in "Bombing of Nanking". In 1940, he had his first one-man exhibition at the Carlin Gallery, Philadelphia. During the 1940s, his style increasingly grew

texts: abstract, and after the United States entered World War II, he worked at a shipyard in Philadelphia, where his work reflected the ordeal of the war. After the end of World War II, Mesibov moved to New York City.His first New York one-man show in 1947 was at the Chinese Gallery, of increasingly cubist and abstract work in his preferred medium acrylic on canvas. During this period, he also experimented with artistic influences from earlier eras, which can be seen in his work named Byzantine Figure, which fuses elements of cubist style with forms and colors reminiscent of Byzantine art. In 1948 and 1949, he exhibited at the New School with the Formations Group. During the late 1940s, he shared exhibition spaces with Milton Avery, Nell Blaine, Ralph Rosenborg, John Ferron and Boris Margo. The abstract expressionist painters soon formed a school known as “The Club,” of which Mesibov was a member. Mesibov was close with Richard Pousette-Dart, Franz Kline and Ibram Lassaw. He also formed professional relationships with Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt and Mark Rothko.In 1949, he married an opera singer named Eudice <mask>, née Charney. During the 1950s, <mask> had shows at the Morris Gallery (1955), the Artists Gallery (1956, 1958) and the Gallery Mayer (1959). <mask> was dedicated to landscape painting during this period and made visits to various sites for painting. From 1951 to 1954, he produced increasingly abstract expressionist series of mostly watercolors based on the summertime landscapes of Aspen, Colorado, and later, from 1956 to 1958, of Monhegan, Maine. His landscape phase, combined with his development of abstract expressionism, found an outlet in famous literary works during the 1960s. Inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient

 Mariner and Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's Don Quixote, he produced a series based on each. By the late 1960s, his acrylics on canvas and watercolors were becoming larger, at times 8 by 10 feet.In 1972, <mask> was commissioned to paint a mural for the Temple Beth El in Spring Valley, New York, which was composed of three combined canvases each measuring . Drawing on inspiration from biblical literature, the mural depicts the events from the Book of Job, primarily Job's challenge to God, his anguish, atonement and restitution. By the 1980s, <mask> restored his long abiding interest in pastoral and seasonal themes using primarily watercolors, of which he produced two major series, the “Pond” and “Sunroom” series. During the 1990s, he restarted experimenting with new techniques in print-making using various pigments, papers and adhesives. His work is well known in Rockland County, New York, where he lived from 1959, and his reputation as an American artist is not confined only to the New York metropolitan area, but stretches from his birthplace of Philadelphia across the United States of America, and around the world. In 1966, he joined the faculty of the State University of New York at Rockland Community College as a professor of fine art. He retired in 1989 and became Professor Emeritus in 1993.Over the course of his career, he received the Executive Arts Award for Visual Arts, Rockland Council on the Arts (1988) and an Arts Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts (1995/96). In 1997, he had a retrospective exhibition at the Rockland Center for the Arts and his work was shown at the Blue Hill Art and Cultural Center in Pearl River, New York, during 2003 and 2004, as well as the Morris M.

Robert Franklin "<mask>" <mask> (born September 21, 1960) is an American college basketball coach and the current head men's basketball coach at The Citadel. <mask> was hired as the Citadel's head coach following the 2014–15 season. He was previously the head coach at Virginia Military Institute. He's also served a coach at Tusculum, Davidson, Western Carolina and Northwestern State. At the conclusion of the 2017–18 season, <mask>'s career record is 184–223 in Division I and 37–19 in Division II. Early life
<mask> was born on September 21, 1960, and grew up around Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended North Mecklenburg High School in Huntersville where he played basketball.Following graduation, Baucom took a career in law enforcement and worked as a policeman and North Carolina state trooper. He was initially assigned to North Mecklenburg as a school resource officer in 1987, and also coached the school's junior varsity basketball team. After four years, he was promoted to varsity head coach. Baucom's career in law-enforcement was short-lived. On Christmas Day of 1990, Baucom had a heart attack, which was discovered to be a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease in which heart muscle thickens for no apparent reason. Narrowly avoiding death, Baucom was forced to pursue a low-stress occupation. He enrolled at UNC Charlotte where he earned a B.A.in history and graduated in 1995. Coaching career
Following his time at North Mecklenburg, <mask> first joined the collegiate ranks in 1995 as an assistant to the Davidson Wildcats. In his lone year at Davidson, the Wildcats went 25–5, 14–0 in the Southern Conference, and

 won the league's regular season championship while participating in the National Invitation Tournament. After spending two seasons as an assistant at Division II Mars Hill, where he was a scout and recruiting coordinator, Baucom served the same role for one year at Northwestern State in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Tusculum
<mask> then returned to the Southern Conference where he worked three seasons under head coach Steve Shurina at Western Carolina. His first head coaching job came in 2003 when he was hired by Tusculum College in the Tennessee town of the same name. <mask> immediately made an impression; his first year in 2003–04, he led the Pioneers to a 19–8 season en route to a South Atlantic Conference championship.For this, Baucom was named the SAC Coach of the Year. The next season produced similar results, and Tusculum advanced to the regional quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. The team led their conference in scoring, field goal percentage, free-throw percentage, three-pointers made per game, and assists per game. VMI
Baucom was then hired in the summer of 2005 by the Virginia Military Institute and athletic director Donny White. The first VMI team under Baucom performed poorly. The Keydets went 7–20 and 2–14 in the Big South Conference, failing to qualify for the league tournament. In addition to the struggles on the court, <mask>'s heart problems returned, as his previously-installed pacemaker had calcified, rendering it difficult to remove and leading to infections and clotting.It was ultimately replaced with a defibrillator, but Baucom would end up missing twelve games on the season during four months of

texts: procedures. Shortly before the start of the 2006–07 season, the team's troubles continued. Two players were found guilty of committing honor violations and promptly expelled from the school, leaving VMI with no players taller than 6'7. To counter this, Baucom installed a fast-pace, high-scoring offense that was a mixture of the 1980s Loyola Marymount teams and Grinnell College, among others. Dubbed the "sprint and strike" and "loot and shoot", by the end of the year, VMI set NCAA records for three-pointers attempted (1,338), three-pointers made (442) and steals (450) that still stand today. The Keydets averaged over 101 points per game and shattered 75 school records. The method proved to increase success as well, as the Keydets went 14–19, the most wins in a season in nine years, and made an upset run through the Big South tournament, defeating Liberty and High Point.They ultimately fell to a 29–5 Winthrop team that went undefeated in conference play by a score of 83–80. The following year, VMI went 14–15 and lost in the conference quarterfinals, which marked the end of forward Reggie Williams' career. Williams led the NCAA in scoring that year and the year prior, and ended his VMI career as the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,556 points. Despite the loss of Williams, 2008–09 was the most successful year in Baucom's tenure. In the first game of the season, the Keydets upset the Kentucky Wildcats in Rupp Arena, 111–103. Led by senior twins Chavis and Travis Holmes, the new system was starting to pay dividends, and after a 4–2 start following a 28-point loss at Jacksonville State, VMI reeled off ten straight wins


texts: to go 14–2 and 6–0 in league play. The streak was broken at home by Liberty in the first and currently only sellout in Cameron Hall history with 5,029 fans in attendance.After defeating Charleston Southern to move to 20–3 and 11–2 in the conference, VMI skidded towards the end of the year with three straight losses, two of which were against weaker opponents. They managed to regroup, ending the season with two wins and advancing to another Big South tournament appearance. However, they were denied their first bid to the NCAA tournament since 1977 again, falling to Radford, 108–94, ending a 24–8 season. The 24 victories were the most since that 1977 campaign, and it was only the fourth twenty-win season in program history. The Keydets had a down year in 2009–10, going 10–19 and 5–13 in league play. They still managed to lead the nation in scoring, and did so again the following year. On July 18, 2011, Baucom was signed to a contract extension through the 2015 season.In 2011–12, VMI clinched its first back-to-back winning seasons since the teams of the late 1970s by going 17–16. This included yet another surprise run to the Big South tournament final, which was thwarted by UNC Asheville. It was, however, the first year in which VMI did not lead the country in points per game. They failed to do so again in 2012–13, and had another losing season. Baucom's contract was extended again through the end of the 2017–18 season (at the same salary) by VMI athletic director Donny White on August 21, 2013. Baucom's 2013–14 squad became the fifth in school history to have a twenty-win season, going 22–13 with an 11–5 Big South record.

 It was the last season for VMI in the Big South, as they had announced their transition back to the Southern Conference the previous spring.After falling in the conference tournament semifinals, VMI received and accepted an invitation to participate in the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. It was the program's first national postseason tournament appearance in thirty-seven years, and the Keydets made the most of their second opportunity. Thanks in large part to the play of senior center D. J. Covington, VMI defeated Canisius, IPFW, and Ohio to advance to the tournament's semifinals. Covington scored 37 points against Canisius, and 41 points against IPFW, which was a CIT tournament record. VMI would fall to Yale, 75–62, in the semifinals, which was televised nationally on CBS Sports Network. On July 2, 2014, <mask> and VMI agreed to another contract extension (at the same salary) that would run through the 2018–19 season. The Citadel

In 2015, <mask> was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame. He created the comic book character Elektra for Marvel Comics' Daredevil series. <mask> is noted for combining film noir and manga influences in his comic art creations. "I realized when I started Sin City that I found American and English comics be too wordy, too constipated, and Japanese comics to be too empty.So I was attempting to do a hybrid". Early life
<mask> was born in Olney, Maryland, on January 27, 1957, and raised in Montpelier, Vermont, the fifth of seven children of a nurse mother and a carpenter/electrician father. His family was Irish Catholic. Career
<mask> grew up a comics fan; a letter he wrote to Marvel Comics was published in The Cat #3 (April 1973). His first published work was at Western Publishing's Gold Key Comics imprint, received at the recommendation of comics artist Neal Adams, to whom a fledgling <mask>, after moving to New York City, had shown samples and received much critique and

Though no published credits appear, he is tentatively credited with the three-page story "Royal Feast" in the licensed TV series comic book The Twilight Zone #84 (June 1978), by an unknown writer, and is credited with the five-page "Endless Cloud", also by an unknown writer, in the following issue (July 1978). By the time of the latter, <mask> had his first confirmed credit in writer Wyatt Gwyon's six-page "Deliver Me From D-Day", inked by Danny Bulanadi, in Weird War Tales #64 (June 1978).Former Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter recalled <mask> going to DC Comics after having broken in with "...a small job from Western Publishing, I think. Thus emboldened, he went to DC, and after getting savaged by Joe Orlando, got in to see art director Vinnie Colletta, who recognized talent and arranged for him to get a one-page war-comic job". The Grand Comics Database does not list this job; there may have been a one-page DC story, or Shooter may have misremembered the page count or have been referring to the two-page story, by writer Roger McKenzie, "Slowly, painfully, you dig your way from the cold, choking

 debris..." in Weird War Tales #68 (Oct. 1978). Other fledgling work at DC included the six-page "The Greatest Story Never Told", by writer Paul Kupperberg, in that same issue, and the five-page "The Edge of History", written by Elliot S. Maggin, in Unknown Soldier #219 (Sept. 1978). His first work for Marvel Comics was penciling the 17-page story "The Master Assassin of Mars, Part 3" in John Carter, Warlord of Mars #18 (Nov. 1978). At Marvel, <mask> settled in as a regular fill-in and cover artist, working on a variety of titles. One of these jobs was drawing Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #27–28 (Feb.–March 1979), which guest-starred Daredevil.At the time, sales of the Daredevil title were poor but <mask> saw potential in "a blind protagonist in a purely visual medium," he recalled in 2000. <mask> went to writer and staffer Jo Duffy (a mentor-figure whom he called his "guardian angel" at Marvel) and she passed on his interest to editor-in-chief Jim Shooter to get <mask> work on Daredevil's regular title. Shooter agreed and made <mask> the new penciller on the title. As <mask> recalled in 2008:

After this issue, <mask> became one of Marvel's rising stars. However, sales on Daredevil did not improve, Marvel's management continued to discuss cancellation, and <mask> himself almost quit the series, as he disliked McKenzie's scripts. <mask>'s fortunes changed with the arrival of Denny O'Neil as editor.Realizing <mask>'s unhappiness with the series, and impressed by a backup story <mask> had written, O'Neil moved McKenzie to another project so that <mask> could try writing the series himself. <mask> and O'Neil maintained a friendly working relationship throughout his run on the series. With issue #168 (Jan. 1981), <mask> took over full duties as writer and penciller. Sales rose so swiftly that Marvel once again began publishing Daredevil monthly rather than bimonthly just three issues after <mask>—who became a popular character and star in a 2005 motion picture—although her first cover appearance was four months earlier on <mask>'s cover of The Comics Journal #58. <mask> later

He added a martial arts aspect to Daredevil's fighting skills, and introduced previously unseen characters who had played a major part in the character's youth: Stick, leader of the ninja clan the Chaste, who had been Murdock's sensei after he was blinded and a rival clan called the Hand.Unable to handle both writing and penciling Daredevil on the new monthly schedule, <mask> began increasingly relying on Janson for the artwork, sending him looser and looser pencils beginning with #173. By issue #185, <mask> had virtually relinquished his role as Daredevil's artist, and he was providing only rough layouts for Janson to both pencil and ink, allowing <mask> to focus on the writing. <mask>'s work on Daredevil was characterized by darker themes and stories. This peaked when in #181 (April 1982) he had the assassin Bullseye kill Elektra, and Daredevil subsequently attempt to kill him. <mask> finished his Daredevil run with issue #191 (Feb. 1983), which he cited in a winter 1983 interview as the issue he is most proud of; by this time he had transformed a

Additionally, <mask> drew a short Batman Christmas story, "Wanted: Santa Claus – Dead or Alive", written by Dennis O'Neil for DC Special Series #21 (Spring 1980). This was his first professional experience with a character with which, like Daredevil, he became closely associated.At Marvel, O'Neil and <mask> collaborated on two issues of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual. The 1980 Annual featured a team-up with Doctor Strange while the 1981 Annual showcased a meeting with the Punisher. As penciler and co-plotter, <mask>, together with writer Chris Claremont, produced the miniseries Wolverine #1–4 (Sept.-Dec. 1982), inked by Josef Rubinstein and spinning off from the popular X-Men title. <mask> used this miniseries to expand on Wolverine's character. The series was a critical success and further cemented <mask>'s place as an industry star. His first creator-owned title was DC Comics' six-issue miniseries Ronin (1983–1984).

It stated "Watch for the new adventures of Earth's Sorcerer Supreme – - as mystically conjured by Roger Stern and <mask>!". <mask>'s only contribution to the series was the cover for Doctor Strange #46 (April 1981). Other commitments prevented him from working on the series. <mask> and Steve Gerber made a proposal to revamp DC's three biggest characters: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, under a line called "Metropolis" and comics titled "Man of Steel" or "The Man of Steel", "Dark Knight" and "Amazon". However, this proposal was not accepted.Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and the late 1980s
In 1986, DC Comics released the writer–penciler <mask>'s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, a four-issue miniseries printed in what the publisher called "prestige format"—squarebound, rather than stapled; on heavy-stock paper rather than newsprint, and with cardstock rather than glossy-paper covers. It was inked by Klaus Janson and colored by Lynn Varley. The story tells how Batman retired after the death of the

As months passed, the men came to like the lad, and taught him what they knew, even taking him on short hops.Eventually, <mask>, airport manager, agreed—with parental permission—to give him flying lessons in exchange for work around the hangars. In his lessons he was a quick learner, and after logging more cockpit time he finally soloed. This, of course, was an era before the Federal Aviation Administration, with its requisite ground courses and instruction hours. When a pilot first took him aloft, he saw a Los Angeles unrecognizable today. He looked down on a Wilshire Boulevard surrounded by countryside, bordered by "a row of stunted palms." He sometimes flew out of Mines Field, one day to become Los Angeles International Airport. In 1923, he flew for the first time in an OX-5-powered Standard J-1 from Rogers Airport   at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue.That same year he persuaded the manager to allow him flying lessons in exchange for work. As a sixteen-year-old at Hollywood High in Los Angeles, he was taught to fly by pilots such as Leo Nomis. First plane purchased
His first plane was a Thomas-Morse S-4C Scout, A single-seat biplane with fabric-covered wooden airframe it had been an advanced trainer for World War I pilots. Its engine was quite common at the time, while being most unusual today - a rotary Le Rhône Rotary, in which the engine crankcase with cylinders rotate and drive the propeller, while the crankshaft is stationary, being attached to the firewall. <mask> paid movie stunt pilot Leo Nomis  $450 for the Scout after his father relented and allowed the boy to buy the plane. (In 2007 a "Tommie" was on sale for $125,000.) <mask>' plane weighed 961 pounds empty and had no throttle.It did have two power-control levers, or manettes, in its place, which served in lieu of

 carburetor, one controlling air intake, the other, fuel. Engine speed was controlled by a so-called blipper, a switch. To manage speed as he taxied for take off, the pilot cut ignition with the blipper switch, then let it start again. With this plane <mask> really learned how to fly. In 1926, he bought his first airplane for $450, a war surplus Thomas-Morse S-4C Scout from Leo Nomis, a leading motion picture stunt pilot. In 2007, a "Tommie" was listed for sale at $125,000.

Education
He graduated Hollywood High School at age 17.His parents kept him from college for a year. He attended Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, graduating in 1928 with an AB in law, then entering Stanford graduate school for a JD so he could one day practice law in his father's firm, mainly to satisfy his father. In 1924 he began study at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, and majored in law. His father, an attorney, had plans for his son to join his law firm. That summer <mask> returned to his flying lessons at Rogers Airport. In the fall he resumed his studies at Stanford. Early work
During his summer vacations, he soon started flying in movies as a paid stunt pilot.This included work in Cecil B. DeMille's  film, Corporal Kate and in Howard Hughes' ' Hell's Angels, famous today for its harrowing World War I aerial combat scenes. In summer 1928 he taught the donor of the Los Angeles La Brea Tar Pits, Captain G. Allan Hancock, to fly in an OX-5-powered Travel Air 2000. Hancock backed the Kingsford-Smith Southern Cross Pacific flight. Jack Northrop, Jerry Vultee, and Cliff Garrett, each eventually founding, respectively, Northrop Aviation, Vultee Aircraft, and Garrett AiResearch, were given their initial flying instruction by <mask> <mask> in the same OX-5 Travel Air. <mask> <mask>

 was a stunt pilot for Hollywood movies produced by Howard Hughes and Cecil B. DeMille. He gave Hughes flying lessons, and knew Victor Fleming, Gone With The Wind director, as well as various movie stars. In 1926 with J.M.Hiatt, a Stanford classmate, he wrote stories, "The Assault Upon Miracle Castle", and "Ghosts of the Air", both published in Weird Tales, a magazine still in existence. He also co-authored science-fiction for Weird Tales, gave flying lessons to Howard Hughes and flew as a stunt pilot in Hughes' silent movie extravaganza, Hell's Angels. Maddux

In 1928 he left Stanford just when beginning law school as he was hired as captain for Maddux Airlines to fly Ford Tri-Motors, although he had no multi-engine experience. He had no co-pilot at Maddux. Instead the right hand seat was occupied by a mechanic with the title "mate." For aircraft checkout, he rode shotgun on a trip to San Diego, and a trip to Alameda, California. He handled the controls while in the air.He was checked-out for take off and landing by doing a quick circuit of Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale, California, with the pilot observing from the right-hand seat. Then the pilot got out and <mask> did three quick solo circuits. The pilot had not stayed to observe. In June 1929 he resigned from Maddux to join Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) which eventually became Trans World Airlines (TWA). TAT was the first United States transcontinental passenger airline. At TAT he flew Ford Tri-Motors. In 1929 he was elected to a term as president of the Professional Pilots Association .In the same year he became one of the founders of the Los Angeles Hangar of the Quiet Birdmen.

The two men simply shook hands. <mask> had no pay, but would cover all expenses. When Crown Prince Ghazi of Iraq was a boy, <mask> and Halliburton flew the lad over a school yard so classmates could see the Prince in an open-cockpit airplane.They performed acrobatics for the Maharajah of Nepal. They were feted by Sylvia Brett, wife of the White Rajah of Sarawak. In a January 23, 1932, letter to his parents, Halliburton wrote, "<mask> continues to be the world's best pilot. Once we are in the air, no matter where, everything goes like clock-work." For Halliburton, he piloted a Stearman C-3B biplane, named The Flying Carpet, and Halliburton wrote a book of the same name, published in 1932, which became a best seller. They flew to French Foreign Legion outposts, and across the Sahara to Timbuktu. Their flight took them to Asia, including India, Persia, Malaysia, and other countries.In Iran, they met young German aviator Elly Beinhorn, famous in her day, who had also flown to Timbuktu in a Klemm, although her plane had been forced down because of mechanical failure. In 1931, Richard Halliburton, a famous travel-adventure writer of the time, asked <mask> to pilot and mechanic for him in an around the world flight. The purpose was to gather material for Halliburton's next book, The Flying Carpet, which became a best seller. The trip in a biplane called The Flying Carpet, a Stearman C-3B, took eighteen months, covered 33,660 miles, visited 34 countries, and included
