Mott-ly

Mott-ly, who was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, was an artist, but also an avid publisher of punk zines, curator of shows and a frontman in various bands in Kansas City, in addition to being a local radio personality. His art, Gina Kauffman wrote, "paid homage to the small, the discarded, the broken and the backward." His various occupations became part of the local legends surrounding him, but it was his profound and direct impact on those around him that proved to be his greatest legacy after he passed away in 2007.
