Just a quick post…
Whew! Both gallery shows that I was involved with over this past weekend went great. (They really wore me out, too!) Kafe Kerouac’s “Komics @ Kerouac” party was a fun time (casual, intimate, busy, laid-back, and so-much-more!) and the Laughs At Lakeside exhibit opening at the High Road Gallery was a total blast in a different sort of way. Because the K@K exhibit was hung in a coffee house (a stone-throw away from OSU campus), the clientèle was far more… mixed and some people just happened into the shindig, not knowing what the heck was going on. “What’s this?” “Why are you drawing comics?” Is this yours?” “That’s pretty good.” (etc.) The L@L was more of a “typical” gallery event, albeit with cartoonists and the like… so the typical “snobbery” that I tend to encounter on those rare occasions I attend gallery shows rarely (if at all) surfaced.
Now that I’m “done” with the gallery stuff (until I need to go back & take the stuff down, that is), I’ve got to get ready for S.P.A.C.E.! I’m working on an advert for the expo’s program book; two actually. One for Blink and one for Sunday Comix.
The other reason I wanted to post something here was just an excuse to slap these sweet drawings of Blink on the site. Every time I look at one of my drawing of her (and Sam), I just think how absolutely grateful I am to have managed to create these two wonderful, beautiful people… the fact that I get to create and write and draw their lives and share them with the world… it makes me so very, very happy.
That’s why the girls tend to smile a lot.
