Second entry for Reclusive Artist


* ReclusiveArtist: The identity of Olivia Jaimes is almost entirely anonymous - while she has given a few interviews where she talked about her childhood and how she got the job, she has never given out her real name, any photos outside of one crudely drawn portrait, or any other details like her age, birthday, or even nationality.

** Ernie Bushmiller was not much of a gadabout, either. Creator/AlPlastino, who was a ghost artist on some of the Sunday strips while Bushmiller was still alive, had this to say:
--->He wasn’t social… He wanted to be left alone. That’s all. That was his privilege… He didn’t want NOBODY there to share his life… This is how reclusive he was: I wanted to visit him and let him know it. Ernie told me the next time [I] would see him he’d be in a casket.
