Democracy Guest List

I was out in the woods at Ox-Bow for two weeks with the most amazing group of collaborators working on Unladylike, our latest foray into research-based comics slash agit-prop slash giggling. We finished it yesterday running on very little to no sleep for several consecutive days and to celebrate, we put up a little exhibition of all the odds and ends that didn’t go into the book but that were really fun and smart and good.

Since most of the work that we did was collaborative, we came up with a kind of neat concept for the show, that we’d have a wall of mix-n-match drawings—

because it was super fun to, say, put the dialogue from the ant-attack drawing onto the melancholy triangle—and then another wall we would just put up some drawing paper and have people draw.

Which, kind of amazingly, they did.

Then of course we had to deinstall this morning on our way out of town. But considering it was thrown together in a couple hours by people who were totally finishing a super hard-core book, it was a really fantastic show.

(More on the book and the process later. I hope!)
