for full-size image. Renowned Toronto-based artist Graham
Roumieu contributes this piece to the SARS Digital Folk Art project, Cover Your Mouth.
His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the NY Times,
the LA Times, Canada Globe and Mail, Shift Magazine,
and many other publications.
He is also the author of several
graphic novels. His latest: the hilarious In
Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot, which I haven't been able
to put down since Susannah Breslin reviewed
and shared it with me.
Graham also shares these brand-new works unrelated to SARS, some of which were just completed
within the past few days: Robot
Poem, Ninja,
Grilled Cheese,
How I Spent My
Summer, and Crap
Alarm.
Below, detail from this large, panoramic piece contributed by kozyndan, via Wiley Wiggins. They're
a pair of mad scientist artists/freelance illustrators who live and work in
LA. Kozy and Dan say they're "working on a secret formula for controlled
nuclear fusion, and creating a line of edible chickens." 
For fun they "like
to take long deep breaths and dip their heads into bowls of rasberry jelly and
lemon curd." Note: prints of this amazing panorama piece will be available soon, e-mail [us@kozyndan.com] for details.

And my co-editor David Pescovitz contributes
this: "BoingBoing pal Terre
Thaemlitz (his bio is here) sent me a parody ad for a
Michael Jackson-style SARS mask. You should read through the 'real' website
he refers to in the parody ad — it's a trip (and not a parody). Here's an excerpt:
"Some Christians interpret diseases such as SARS as a judgement from God
against the sinfulness of the world. Others see them as attacks from Satan.
Still others regard SARS and other diseases as the natural consequences of living
in a fallen world."
