Rand Holmes was Canada’s most revolutionary artist in his heyday, the star cartoonist at the Georgia Straight newspaper in British Columbia during the 1970s. He spent his last 20 years on a remote island in the Straits of Georgia where he lived out his dreams of pioneering and homesteading. He died in March 2002 from Hodgkin’s lymphoma and a retrospective exhibition of his original work was held five years later at the community hall. • Rand Holmes' hippie hero, Harold Hedd, became the internationally famous spokesman for the emerging Canadian counterculture in the 1970s. Holmes preferred a lower profile and eventually acquired all he needed to become a complete recluse. His artistic history began in Edmonton, flourished in Vancouver and San Francisco, and concluded on Lasqueti Island where he died in 2002. • Comix historian Patrick Rosenkranz traveled to British Columbia from Oregon to document the only exhibit ever held of Holmes’ entire career in March 2007. The Rand Holmes Retrospective Art Show provides generous selections from his private journals and correspondence, family photo albums, and personal anecdotes from his friends and family. • https://www.patrickrosenkranz.info/
