Graphic Canon Volume 1

The Graphic Canon Volume 1: From The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare to
Dangerous Liaisons
 (Seven Stories Press) (phew) comes out today! One of my
contributions, Outlaws of the Water Margin, is in this volume. I got my contributor’s
copy last week, and it looks really good – there’s a great diversity of styles that goes
well with the breadth of source material.

 

I’ll be attending a book launch / signing event at the Rubin Museum of Art tomorrow
(May 23). Come  by if you’re in the neighborhood!

Hana spent some time handing out invitations…

Yuka looking stylish. I couldn’t have finished the paintings without her help –

Renegade Craft Fair 2011

Partyka and friends at the Renegade Craft Fair! Saturday ranged from damp/misty to downright soggy, but a
surprising number of people were walking about.
 
Another handsome display. Not pictured: the ever-growing lake infiltrating from behind the booth, under the
table of prints.
 
Sally Madden was hard at work all day doing “Portraits in 60 Seconds”.
 
It was a crowd pleaser!
 
Jokes were told.
