Dave Sims, after teaching for over thirty years in the trenches of academe, now dwells and creates in the old mountains of central Pennsylvania. His words and images appear on the covers and inside the pages of dozens of print and online publications, as well as in online galleries and juried exhibits. His totem poles have captured the attentions of many strangers, and his music-making and singing have been known to leave listeners shaking their heads in disbelief. Much of his art and comix (both published and yet to be) can be seen and read at his website www.tincansims.com.
