Jeff Bridges is also a cartoonist whose work has been shown in K-PAX and Door in the Floor. Here are some more samples.

Jeff Bridges on releasing his first music album: “People like to put things in a box — and they do that with their own lives too, they limit things — but it’s all art to me…all art is truth.
