Northwest fans of fine art and low brow culture alike are in for a treat this Saturday, March 13. Get your geek on at the Emerald City Comicon, and visit the Fantagraphics booth for a look at a carload of brand new books. Meet stellar cartoonists including legendary Love & Rockets co-creator Gilbert Hernandez.
Take a break from the convention madness to greet the lovely and talented Los Angeles artist Camille Rose Garcia at Roq la Rue Gallery in Belltown. She’ll be signing her timely new book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and ever-popular Magic Bottle from Fantagraphics Books this Saturday afternoon.
Then head down to Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery in Georgetown from 6:00 to 9:00 PM for an adult beverage at the opening of Gilbert’s HIGH SOFT LISP exhibition and book launch event that serves as the after-party for the Emerald City Comicon. Expect cameos from visiting pros, exquisite art, and DJ Russ Fallout spinning classic punk platters. See you this weekend.
Words to ponder: Let not memories bear bitterness and let not hope be accompanied with fears. Let our present thought shape our future reality.
