The somewhat sinister pair of hands in the above photo belong to Caitlin Mcgurk, Engagement Coordinator of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & amp; Museum at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. She will be our co-hostess this weekend for a show of cartoons by Bill Watterson and me. In the photo you can see the tasteful pale-green chosen as a wall color by Caitlin. Much better than the Drunk Tank Pink I'd chosen.
Caitlin came down to my studio a few months ago when I was hors de combat and selected a bunch of drawings for the show (so that's where all that stuff went.) She left behind only a note complaining about the filthiness of the art and a pair of used white gloves.
I hope you will join us to welcome in this spring season, look at some drawings and have some cheap wine this coming friday at six at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum!
I would so love to be there. Alas. Next time maybe in Portland?
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there to see it! I'm sure it's an amazing show!
ReplyDeleteI will be there. In June. Wearing flip-flops.
ReplyDeleteWith you in spirit, my friend. I think I need to come to DC for a long-postponed beer.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah - I'll rise a glass of Silvaner next Fryday in honour of that exhibition !
ReplyDeleteI love you Richard, and your filthy, filthy art.
ReplyDeleteI was there and it was thrilling. Thank you so much for being at the opening, it was just so great to meet you. Everything looked perfect, and I laughed out loud at strips I'd laughed out loud at before. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI was there in spirit! Floating above, silently judging you all.
