This ad for the next exhibit at the Cartoon Art Museum will be appearing in the Wondercon programing book. I am responsible (for better or worse) for it’s creation. It was a thrill to be working with the art of so many talented folks. I will post the postcard and banner images next week.
The show has some amazing stunning work, press release below:
A great comic builds a world for its readers. Whether it’s futuristic adventure or medieval fantasy, the farthest reaches of reality or a someplace tantalizingly close to home, comics offer an escape into an unforgettable world. The Cartoon Art Museum’s latest exhibition, Worlds of Wonder, explores twelve different comic-book and comic-strip illustrators and the worlds built from their imaginations. Their work runs the gamut of fantasy, science fiction, folk legend, magical realism, and stories almost too good to be the truth.Featured artists include Linda Medley (Castle Waiting), Charlie Adlard (Astronauts in Trouble: 1959), Tom Beland (True Story Swear To God), Mark Buckingham & Steve Leialoha (Fables), Gene Colan (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Pia Guerra (Y The Last Man), Shepherd Hendrix (Stagger Lee), Kevin Huizenga (Ganges), Erik Larsen (Savage Dragon), Patrick McDonnell (Mutts), Lark Pien (Long Tail Kitty, Flight), and Gene Yang & Thien Pham (Three Angels).
Many of the featured artists will be appearing at San Francisco’s two major comic conventions, WonderCon and The Alternative Press Expo (APE). For more information on these events, please visit Comic-Con International’s official website, http://www.comic-con.org
