Museum London: Words and Pictures: Cartoonists of Southwestern Ontario

I'm so excited to announce that I will be exhibiting with Museum London this Fall.

Words and Pictures: Cartoonists of Southwestern Ontario
Museum London
September 15 to January 13, 2019
 
OPENING RECEPTION
Sept 30, 1-4pm
North and Centre Ivey Galleries

From the Museum: Until recently, comic books have regularly been dismissed as disposable, “low brow” items of popular culture, often overlooked in larger discussions of the visual arts. Within the past 20 years, however, comics and graphic novels (sometimes referred to as “sequential art”) have been recognized as a sophisticated art form, and cartoonists as artists. Masters of the form, such as Jack Kirby, Robert Crumb, Herge, and Osamu Tezuka, are now acknowledged to be among the most recognized and influential artists of the twentieth century. Southwestern Ontario has produced some of the world’s most celebrated and innovative of these artists, of which twelve are featured in this exhibition.

I'll be joining some of my favorite colleagues, including: Marc Bell, Scott Chantler, David Collier, Michael Cho, Jesse Jacobs, Mark Laliberte, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Jeff Lemire, Joe Ollman, Seth, Jay Stephens and Guest Curator: Diana Tamblyn.
We've got all kinds of beautiful things to show you, from 3D objects we made by hand, to comics, to video games. You will see finished pieces as well as process. If you like comics and the related industries we work in, this is not to miss.

Hope to see you there!
