FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact LINDA ADAMS: 909-725-7337 PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact LINDA ADAMS: 909-725-7337 GODFATHER OF THE AMERICAN GRAPHIC NOVEL PHIL YEH TEAMS UP WITH SIMPSONS CARTOONIST PHIL ORTIZ TO PROMOTE LITERACY ON BOTH COASTS IN SEPTEMBER Phil Yeh, often called the Godfather of the modern American Graphic Novel, will paint a new mural promoting literacy and the arts at the Baltimore Book Festival, September 28 to 30. Yeh will be painting the new mural inside the Children's Bookstore Tent and will also speak at the Comics Conversation panel on Saturday, September 29 from 5:30-7:00 pm. He will sign copies of his books after the discussion. The Baltimore Book Festival is located at Mount Vernon Place on the 600 block of North Charles Street in Baltimore. Yeh will also be appearing in Baltimore area libraries from the 25th to the 29th of September and in the Arlington Central Library In Virginia on Saturday, September 22. Yeh, who founded Cartoonists Across America & The World in 1985, is on his 22nd year of his world tour promoting literacy and the arts with humor and cartoons. He is featured in the new book Hometown Heroes (HarperCollins) just released this spring. The book collects articles that originally ran in American Profile magazine and documents how 50 Americans are changing the world. Yeh's partner on the new "Two Phils Tour" is five time Emmy award-winning cartoonist Phil Ortiz who joined the Cartoonists Across America tour last summer at a big library event in San Bernardino, California. Ortiz designed more than 100 characters for The Simpsons, the longest running comedy series in television history, during the first two seasons of the show. He then went on to draw The Simpsons for various comic book titles published by Bongo Comics to the present day. Ortiz and members of Cartoonists Across America will be painting another mural on the west coast at the annual Orange County Children's Book Festival In Costa Mesa, California on September 29 and 30. Ortiz and Yeh will then team up as "the two Phil's tour" in October at mural painting events at Silicon, a science fiction convention in San Jose on October 5-7, the San Bernardino Main Public Library on October 13, and at the Edward James Olmos Book and Family Festival at the Arclight Theater In Hollywood in conjunction with the Latino Film Festival on October 14. Yeh will debut his new Dinosaurs Across Route 66 comic book at the San Bernardino and Hollywood events and Ortiz will be showing new designs for his animated TV series called Pachuko Boy the same weekend. Yeh's best-selling comic book Dinosaurs Across America has just been published this fall by NBM publishing in New York City. This new full color hardcover edition suitable for all ages is perfect for home, school, and public libraries. Yeh's longtime colorist and art director Lieve Jerger spent many weeks making sure that the colors in this new edition are perfect. Dinosaurs Across America has been reprinted eight times as a black and white comic book with over 180,000 copies sold throughout the country since 1990. Yeh will sign copies of his new hardcover book at all his fall events throughout the country to introduce the concept of how cartoons can make learning U.S. history and geography fun and easy for all ages. Yeh will also introduce a full color preview this fall of his forthcoming graphic novel, Cazco: What a Long Strange Trip It's Been that covers the struggles of his half Tibetan, half Irish cartoonist character trying to find a publisher for the last 35 years. 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of Yeh's 1977 landmark graphic album, Even Cazco Gets the Blues, which was one of the very first all new-material modern American graphic novels. Yeh pioneered the graphic novel form along with NBM in the U.S. and encouraged his fellow artists in North America to embrace the new format and consider the bookstore and library market well before the majority of publishers in his field. Even Cazco Gets The Blues featured introductions by MAD magazine cartoonist Sergio Aragones and the late Golden Age comic book creator Don Rico and was a real departure from the normal superhero storytelling in the comic book field. Cazco made his debut in Yeh's college newspaper at California State University Long Beach in the fall of 1972 as a daily comic strip, and 2007 also marks the 35th anniversary of the character's first appearance. What makes this character appeal to all generations is the universal story told of a struggling artist against all odds. Cazco travels all around the world and often touches on the lives of real people that Yeh has met personally in his own artistic journey from the creator of the Beats, Herbert Huncke, to noted people around the world such as Ray Bradbury, Jean Moebius Giraud, Rick Griffin, Flavia, Charles Schulz, Steven Spielberg, and hundreds of others. Cazco; What a Long Strange Trip It's Been will cover the period of 1972 to 2007 and shows the last 35 years in context to the times that we live, and hopefully, helps explain the world a bit better for both Yeh's baby boomer generation and the current generation which include Yeh's own three sons now in their 20s. The full 200 plus page graphic novel will be completed in the summer of 2008. It is designed to be a G-rated version of the last 35 years so that it can easily reach all ages and cultures as Yeh continues his 25-year campaign to promote literacy and the arts all around the world. The tour ends in 2010 when Yeh plans to finish his feature length documentary about his journey for a quarter century spent on the road trying to get people to see the importance of the written word and especially his own comic art form. The film is called Planet Literacy: The Cartoonists Across America Story and features artists from all fields as Yeh and his band of artists have painted more than 1600 murals around the world. Yeh recently signed a deal with Little Star magazine in Beijing, China to create a brand new feature for the Chinese market called The Winged Tiger in China. The first installment was created in February 2007, when Yeh was in Beijing for an environmental poster contest awards ceremony sponsored by Little Star magazine. He had not been back to his father's home country since 1995, when he was invited to paint a mural for the 2nd annual International Children's Book Fair in Beijing. The changes in the country were amazing in the last 12 years and Yeh has captured that in the second installment of his new comic strip feature about Shanghai. The third episode of the comic strip was colored by Lieve Jerger and is in the current edition of Little Star magazine. The two artists plan to release a full color Winged Tiger in China graphic novel in time for the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. Cartoonists Across America's "Two Phils Tour" kicked into high gear in the fall of 2006 when the artists painted a mural in Berlin, Germany with noted underground cartoonist Mark Bode, son of the legendary artist Vaughn Bode, creator of Cheech Wizard. Bode recently signed a film deal with Zack Snyder, director of the successful film the 300 which was adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novel of the same name. Bode has worked with Cartoonists Across America & The World on a number of mural projects including a recycling truck painted in 1992 in Northampton, Massachusetts with many of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles artists. Yeh had major support for his best-selling Theo the Dinosaur book from Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman, who has long supported the idea of comics as a real force for getting people to read. Bode later joined Yeh and Elfquest's creator Wendi Pini to paint a 54-foot truck trailer in the Philadelphia Convention Center in 1993. The truck was owned by Jones Express in Pennsylvania and was on the road for many years as one of the biggest moving billboards for literacy and the arts in the world. Yeh and his band of artists finished painting the historic truck in front of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. on September 8, 1994, which is the officially International Literacy Day. After the successful event on old Route 66 at the main San Bernardino Public Library last July where the two Phils helped paint both the library van and truck before a crowd of 1500 people on the hottest weekend of the year, the artists started a working relationship with San Bernardino's mayor Pat Morris to create as many mural events and as much awareness for literacy and the arts as possible. Ortiz, who grew up in East Los Angeles, is a resident of the San Bernardino mountain area near Lake Arrowhead and wants to give back to his local community while continuing his travels around the world. On May 20, the Two Phils Tour painted a giant metal storage container at San Bernardino's Operation Phoenix, a family oriented community center. Special guest artist Mark Bode flew down from San Francisco to lend his brilliant artistic talents with the spray can. The Bode style is legendary in the graffiti art world with Puma introducing a new line of limited edition shoes and clothes this year that immediately sold out.

  • Jacaber-Kastor 2019.Pdf
    Jacaeber Kastor: Psychedelic Sun By Carlo McCormick In turns perplexing, disorienting, wondrous and utterly beguiling, Jacaeber Kastor’s drawings make you look, look again and then still more, trying to find your way in their miasmic magic until at last, well, you discover the special pleasure of being truly lost. And when you think you’re done, when you’ve decoded the esoteric and abstract, conjured all the forms and meanings from these oceans of latency, answered the call of otherness as if it were the sphinx’s riddle- turn the work or flip your head, around and around, because there is no single perspective to read Kastor’s psychedelic topography: it is an entwined and constantly unfolding omniverse that has no right side up or upside down. If, in the course of your wanderings through Kastor’s meandering poetics of line and space, you come across the unexpected, the oddly familiar or the impossibly alien- for indeed you surely will, quite possible all at once with overwhelming simultaneity- and you ask yourself how did you even come to get here, you might also ask how indeed did this artist arrive at just such a place him- self. Make no mistake about it, Jacaeber Kastor is an intrepid voyager of body and mind, an adventurer without destination or designation, a man without return for even when he has somehow been there before he understands it as different, everything nuanced with the subtle shifts of impercep tible change, actuality always just beyond the tiny grasp of appearance, reason or replication. His art, like the convolutions of a restless mind guiding the inspired hand of uncertainty, is the tracings of a mind- traveler, a map to the nowhere that is everywhere, something so personally idiosyncratic that it marks a shared commons where likeness meets in a zone of compatible dissimilarity.

  • Homegrown: Austin Music Posters 1967 to 1982
    Homegrown: Austin Music Posters 1967 to 1982 Alan Schaefer The opening of the Vulcan Gas Company in 1967 marked a significant turning point in the history of music, art, and underground culture in Austin, Texas. Modeled after the psychedelic ballrooms of San Francisco, the Vulcan Gas Company presented the best of local and national psychedelic rock and roll as well as the kings and queens of the blues. The primary 46 medium for advertising performances at the 47 venue was the poster, though these posters were not simple examples of commercial art with stock publicity photos and redundant designs. The Vulcan Gas Company posters — a radical body of work drawing from psychedelia, surrealism, art nouveau, old west motifs, and portraiture — established a blueprint for the modern concert poster and helped articulate the visual language of Austin’s emerging underground scenes. The Vulcan Gas Company closed its doors in the spring of 1970, but a new decade witnessed the rapid development of Austin’s music scene and the posters that promoted it. Austin’s music poster artists offered a visual narrative of the music and culture of the city, and a substantial collection of these posters has found a home at the Wittliff Collections at Texas State University. The Wittliff Collections presented Homegrown: Austin Music Posters 1967 to 1982 in its gallery in the Alkek Library in 2015. The exhibition was curated by Katie Salzmann, lead archivist at the Wittliff Collections, and Alan Schaefer, a lecturer in the Department of English Jim Franklin. New Atlantis, Lavender Hill Express, Texas Pacific, Eternal Life Corp., and Georgetown Medical Band.

On September 8, FWMoA will open Litmus Test: Works on Paper from the Psychedelic Era, followed by the opening of All Access: Exploring Humanism in the Art of Chuck Sperry a week later on September 15. The Psychedelic Era was, among many things, a cultural frontier for colors and imagery. Music, politics, and drugs ignited an unprecedented expansion of art revolving around these elements. From Berkeley College to the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, young idealists organized and the art of the era came to fruition. This exhibition will be our bridge to that time, showcasing a psychedelic era works on paper. The poster work and ephemera of Gary Grimshaw and the photography of Leni Sinclair will showcase the art that poured from that time and place. Blotter sheets from Mark Mothersbaugh, H.R. Giger, S. Clay Wilson, Chuck Sperry, and more will represent the creative fuel for many of the artists of the time. Also featured will be the work of the poster artists of the time: Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, Rick Griffin, and Alton Kelley.

With the collaboration of Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) CURATED BY David Carballal The Exhibition Moscoso Cosmos: The Visual Universe of Victor Moscoso brings to our country a large selection of the work of one of the most original and influential graphic designers of the 20th century. This is his biggest retrospective exhibition so far.

It also includes an additional selection of posters, album covers, comics, illustrations for books and magazines, animations and biographical photographs which complete a journey marked by iconic pictures of the second half of the 20th century. Victor Moscoso's original pieces of graphic art will occupy two rooms of the Luis Seoane Foundation —a large part comes from the City of A Coruña's own collection, Europe's biggest public collection of works by the artist—. The exhibition will also showcase his animations and a space will be dedicated to his spectacular kinetic posters, and to other items that help to understand the artist's unique contributions and work methodology.
