Off the Wall opens this week!

Here is the poster for the art show I'm part of this week. I hope some of you can make it!

Artist to Artist: An Art History Comic

This will be the cover of my art history comic. There are 15 artists within -- who I've made comics about. (Including me!)

Warhola & Wales

This is the final comic in this series. What I like about it is that it ends at the beginning -- Van Gogh. It has been a lot of fun to draw these.

The series is called Artist to Artist -- eventually it will be in comic form. To me it's about what happens when artists interact. Sometimes inspiration and comraderie -- sometimes competition and someone loses an ear. It is very gratifying to interact with other artists. We are part of a Tribe!

Warhol & Warhola

This comic illustrates an incident that happened between Andy Warhol and his nephew James Warhola. I was fortunate enough to get this story from James himself!

Off the Wall: An Upcoming Art Show

I will be exhibiting my artwork in an two-man art show with Phil Hendrickson at Mansfield University in the Allen Hall Gallery. The reception will be on Thursday, March 29 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.

I hope that many of you can make it! If you can't make it for the reception, the show will be up until April 20.

Warhol & Dali

I made this comic strip about one of Warhol's interactions with Dali based on an account I read about. Some people say that without Dali, there wouldn't have been a Warhol -- kind of like Old Testament/New Testament. In one interview Andy was asked, "Did you know Dali claims to be a forerunner of pop art?" Andy's reply was, "Really? It's so hard to understand anything he says."

Dali & Picasso

This is a comic about Dali and Picasso's first encounter. They had an on-again, off-again friendship. Dali would sometimes praise Picasso and sometimes denigrate him. I think he said whatever would get him press. Picasso admired his technical virtuosity, but said Dali was like an out-board motor -- always running.

Dali was always performing outrageous antics. Was he crazy? Or crazy like a fox. His actions always got attention and press. He was the most well-known of the surrealists and never had problem selling his work.
