Derailed: Comics Off the Beaten Path
Robbi and I have been invited to participate in a group show celebrating the work of contemporary comic artists. The show, called Derailed: Comics Off the Beaten Path, is being mounted at Sacred Heart University's Gallery of Contemporary Art. It opens this Sunday, September 13 and runs through October 29.
If you happen to be in the vicinity of Fairfield, Connecticut this coming Sunday (Sept. 13), there will be an opening reception from 1:00-3:30pm followed by a panel discussion during which Robbi and I will be expected to say profound things. Come see for yourself whether or not we are able to pull it off (Robbi has her doubts). Even if we are not able to pull it off, there will likely be wine, cheese, and cocktail napkins to enjoy.
Here's a link to some short essays about each of the artists (click the link at the top of the page to see a slideshow of the various artists' work, including some early sketches from The Baby is Disappointing and The Contented.)
Further, if you wish to find yourself in our eternal debt, we are actively looking for someone willing/interested/not unwilling to restrain Alden's wild impulses during the panel. We have occasionally allowed her to be present for our public appearances and have found her contributions not to our liking. Her various yells, squawks, and shrieks may well be profound, but not in any language that we speak.
