"Captain Lovelace vs the Grog"
Hey friends,
One Page opens tonight and only runs the weekend
- go see it if you are near Seattle!
The work is so killer, so happy to be in a show along side these amazing people - thank you Robbie (+David) !
Coinciding with Emerald City Comic Con, Roq la Rue presents
One Page, A Comic Show.
One Page is a group show featuring contemporary and comic book artists,
showing in the gallery at the same time. Each artist will be producing a
one page comic with a short story, similar to what you would see in the
Sunday comics.
Curator Robbie Lowery says:
“I originally got the idea from Ryan
Heshka who had shown at Roq la Rue a couple years ago and included a
couple pieces that were short, stand alone comics. Such a great idea.
Now if you’ve ever been to a comic con, you’ve probably seen some
artists selling original comic pages from books they have illustrated.
While the pages are usually awesome, a lot of times there isn’t any
context to the page when removed from the other pages, especially if
there is dialog. I wanted to give comic artists the chance to display a
full comic in one page, rather than two dozen. The comics have to
include original characters. Sorry, no Batman!”
Contributing artists include; Ashley Wood, Sail, Ryan Heshka, Rufus
Dayglo, Nico Delort, Andrew MacLean, Matthew Dunn, Veronica Fish, Audrey
Kawasaki, Syd Bee, Travis Lampe, Jim Mahfood, Julian Callos, Rosemary
Valero-O’Connel, Hope Larson, Julia Gfrörer, Leonard Brizuela, Dan
McCarthy, Farel Dalrymple, Allison Sommers, Ben Rankel, Brendan Larson,
Syd Bee, and Casey Weldon.
