Lutefisk Sushi Artists Potluck this Saturday, July 31st!

Altered Esthetics, Cartooning Projects, deadlines, event, Events, gallery show, little funny, Lutefisk Sushi, Minneapolis, mn, Projects, St. Paul

The participating artist potluck for Lutefisk Sushi (and little funny Series II) is this Saturday, July 31st from 1-3PM at Altered Esthetics. If you participated in either project, I hope to see you there.

Some things to note:

– You can pick up your contributor Lutefisk Sushi Volume D box at the potluck! Don’t forget to get your name checked off the list when you do.

– This is the deadline to drop off your framed art to hang for the show. Please bring some, if possible. More than one item is great… too much art to fit on the walls is a much better position to be in than not enough! Note that it is not a requirement that the art you display be from your comic in the Sushi box.

– This is the deadline for dropping off your issues of little funny. There is still time to make one! Email me if you need a number:

– Pick up promotional Lutefisk Sushi Volume D postcards to distribute.

– Don’t forget to remind your friends, blog readers, co-workers, parents, cousins, casual associates, and random people on the street that the Lutefisk Sushi opening is Friday, August 6th from 7 – 10 PM! Promotional materials below.

– Bring one item of food… it is a potluck!

We Need a Name for the Comic Cookbook show

Altered Esthetics, gallery show, Local Hero Kevin Cannon, Projects

I know it seems awfully early, seeing as we haven’t even had the opening for Lutefisk Sushi Volume D yet (opening August 6th… potluck this Saturday for participants), but Altered Esthetics is printing their calendar for next year soon, so we need a catchy title for the comic cookbook show we will be putting on there next year. Local Hero Kevin Cannon has generously volunteered to draw something for the calendar. We need something quick, so make some suggestions in the comments and let’s get it figured out. Possibilities so far:

The Comic Cookbook
Just Add Ink
Culinary Comics
The Gourmet Cartoonist
Gastronomical Giggles
Gag Comics: A Cartoon Cookbook

Please only participate in this discussion if you plan to participate in the show. Note that this will not be a regional show, and cartoonists from all over the world are encouraged to participate.

Subject for the 2011 comic art show at Altered Esthetics… Comic Cookbook

event, Events, gallery show

Well, the Comic Cookbook idea thoroughly throttled its competition in the voting for a subject for next year’s art show at Altered Esthetics. So, unless someone objects in the comments here in the next few days, let’s just go with that, huh? Also, if you think of any good names and other ideas for this show, I also encourage you to put them in the comments here. Bon Appétit.
