Comic for Chicago Artists' News

Onsmith and I have a 4-page comic in this month's issue of Chicago Artists' News, a monthly newspaper published by the Chicago Artists' Coalition.

Our assignment was to treat, in comics form, the topic of "comics in Chicago." I scripted and thumbnailed a piece that turned out (surprise) to be more obscurely allegorical than enlighteningly journalistic. I drew the first two pages of it; Onsmith drew the second two. I don't know what the readers of the paper made of our effort--I hope they liked it. I do know that it was a gas to collaborate with Onsmith.

I'm posting my two pages here; his two are up at his blog. .

I will be in a group exhibition entitled "Off-Kilter Comics," at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. The show features original comics art, drawings, and prints by six midwesterners: Ivan Brunetti, Lilli Carre, Onsmith, Zak Sally, Dan Zettwoch, and myself. Above is the postcard for the show, with a great design by Onsmith and full details regarding dates, times, and location.
