Cartoon North Exhibit - JUNE 2007

To the best of my knowedge this will be the first cartoon and comic book art exhibit in Alaska. It definitely is the first here in the Fairbanks area. From CartoonNorth.net :
Cartoon North: the exhibition
( CLICK THE PIC TO THE RIGHT TO ENLARGE>>>>> )
The work of more than fifty artists, most of them Alaskans, is featured in this exciting show, the first comprehensive exhibit of Alaska sequential art and cartooning. From the sublimely beautiful to the hysterically funny, these animators, cartoonists, inkers, pencilists, letterers, graphic artists, writers, and painters have created a gamut of pop culture artwork.

The exhibit will be on display for the month of June 2007 (opening June 1, Friday 5:30-9pm) at the Annex art gallery, 2922 Parks Highway, Fairbanks, Alaska.
As a writer and letterer of comics I have even been asked to participate! On display will be three 11x17 pages. A mocked up cover and the script for two pages of Black Watch and then the two finished (colored and lettered) pages drawn from that piece of script.

It should be fun! And heck, half way through the month Scott McCloud will be doing a workshop!

CORRECTIONS: McCloud's Making Comics workshop will be on June 15, Friday, 6 to 9 pm. Also, the other two workshops, Zines and Editorial Cartooning, are only $25 ($20 if you're a student).

Er, just a little addendum: the time on McCloud's workshop got changed after the postcards were printed. His Making Comics workshop will be on June 15, Friday, 6 to 9 pm. Also, the other two workshops, Zines and Editorial Cartooning, are only $25 ($20 if you're a student).

And the prints of your work look great, Kel (I got a sneak peek before everything was hung on the walls).
