Kenosha Festival of Cartooning Kickstarter coming to a close very soon

The Kenosha Festival of Cartooning needs at least $4,000 more pledged by this coming Tuesday. I only promote anything that’s not my own when I think it’s a worthwhile endeavor, and since I went to this event last year, it’s definitely worth submitting some money for to have happen again. I’ve actually increased my pledge to help out a little bit, but it’s not enough. If you want to help, here is a link to the Kickstarter page to check it out.

Recap: “Heaven and Hell” Opening Reception

On May 12th, I went to the “Heaven and Hell” opening reception at Artworks in Kenosha. Because of how busy I have been over the last few months with the Drannik & Lizzep comic book, I did not enter this show, but I did stop by to see what other people did for it. All the pieces on display had the theme of Heaven or Hell, so most of the show involved religious imagery, but there were a couple where the theme was more allegorical (like a painting of a partly-cloudy sky). My personal favorite was the “tryptich” of Scott Walker, mostly because it was done more like a political cartoon, plus it’s quite the topical subject given what’s been going on in Wisconsin politics in the last year or so. There was also a dance troupe doing their routine throughout the show. I took a few pictures, of course:

Speaking of Artworks, I have Drannik & Lizzep #2 on sale there, so if you ever happen to stop by there (or Lost World of Wonders up in Milwaukee), pick yourself up a copy. They’re only $4 at each location (I also plan on making some more copies and dropping them off at one of the Collector’s Edge locations up in Milwaukee).
