CartoonInk!

On Sunday I finished a wall drawing I was asked to do for the CartoonInk show at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Sullivan Galleries. The show was curated by Surabhi Ghosh, Christa Donner and Jeremy Tinder with help from Sara Drake. There's a bunch of cool stuff to see there, including a new piece by Deb Sokolow (which happens to be right next to my wall drawing) and one of Lisa Cline's originals which is completely gorgeous – the photocopier doesn't do them justice. After a number of delays the show opens next weekend.

Here's an image of the flyer for it, with a nice little Marc Bell drawing (did I mention I'm going on a little East coast book tour with him in a few days?).

THE BLANK MAP

If you're in Chicago tonight you should come check out this show. It's got a bunch of good stuff in it, not least Mark Booth (below) and Deb Sokolow (below that) who both rule. It's in Pilsen near 18th and Halsted. It's also a benefit for Open Books which might be the best bookstore in the city, and is also a non-profit promoting literacy. Curated by the coincidentally named Sara Drake and Becka Mallard.
