Here is an update on my new gallery show that will be opening this week! I have over 300 original art pieces in the show. It is a one man show and has the ENTIRE main gallery of the university that I graduated from. My biggest show ever.

Included are: The original art from the entire issues of Daredevil #51-53. 33 original art pages from the Daredevil Wakeup story I did with Brian Michael Bendis. Hundreds of Kabuki pages from Metamorphosis, Skin Deep and Dreams (including the entire Ghost play art, and entire Kabuki One Half art).

Four figure sculptures at real life scale. Large full figure paintings at real life scale and larger. Many, many personal figure drawings, sketches, studies and doodles. A brand new never before published black and white autobiographical 8 page story called “Self Portrait”.

The original cover art to selected published covers of Kabuki, Daredevil, Alias and more. The Tori Amos painting I did for her upcoming calendar.

Handmade artbooks including “My Invisible Friend” (as seen in pages of Kabuki), Father Hymn Book, Mother Her Book. Child hood robot sculpture and first childhood oil painting and more.

Also included are many books and books will be available for sale to the public at the night of the opening reception.

Also free posters and post cards with the show art are free to public at the night of opening reception.

Reception will have free food and drinks. Including SUSHI! Yum. I hope I have time to eat some.


Previous update below will have other info dates, times and lecture night info:

I have a new gallery exhibit of my artwork in October. It will be held in the art gallery of the University that I graduated from and will extensively feature original pages from Kabuki, Daredevil, Echo, and many non-comic related works and paintings.

The opening night reception of the gallery will be Thursday October 2 from 5-8 pm. It will be held at the main gallery of the Art Building at Northern Kentucky University. Right across the river from Cincinnati Ohio.

It is a one man show and my work will be up thoughout October but I hope people can make it on the opening night, as there will also be a signing held, a free poster for the gallery show, and books available. On Friday October 22 I will be having a lecture/discussion at the University. Last year NKU had Neil Gaiman do this at the University, and If you attended that you know how fun and interactive this can be.

The last two years the NKU Literature dept hosted something like this. I did it the first year, and Neil Gaiman did it the second year. This October the art dept is sponsoring my show and working hand in hand with other departments of the University including the Literature dept, and book stores in the area. Both events are free to the public, and everyone is welcomed to attend!

Hey friends,
Thanks for all the kind words and the support here. I check in on this board now and then and I really appreciate all the encouraging words and support for my work that you have for me on this board.

This board is a great source of news and opinions and personalities and it is also good to hear your feeback to my current DD/Echo story.

I hope Denny Haynes can make it to the show. I guess it is about an hour to an hour and a half drive norht for him. But Denny, If you can make it, I think it will be worth it to you Smile
Anh and I hope to see you there.

Kindest regards,
David

Yes, pictures! That would be nice.
At least I will be able to see you again at Megacon next year Mack. I'm excited that Bendis is coming next year as well. Smile So far, the guest list is looking good, and to think, it's still about 6 months away.

Well, before you do that. David--will cameras be allowed at the exhibit? When I took my camera equipment to the Portland in-store last weekend, they made me keep it bundled up and wouldn't let me use any of it.

My advice to anyone wanting to take cameras--get permission first! This is especially important if you have large, professional equipment like I do. The last thing you want is to lug around a bunch of stuff you can't use, or that will get confiscated at the door.

Count me there, man. But will you be offended if I don't eat any sushi?

Thank you also for the conversational hiatus. I normally refrain from speech during gustation. There are those who attempt both at the same time. I find it coarse and vulgar.

As far as I know, cameras and photos are allowed and encouraged.

I think there will also be an hour long interview with me playing on a loop from an interview my college drawing teacher filmed of me when I spoke to his drawing class last week.

I don't mind if you don't go for the sushi. Saves more for me:)
I'm sure there will be other stuff too.

If you can make it please introduce yourself to me and mention if you are from the board.

Best,
DM

Shocked

Not to take anything away from yer show, which is always a huge event and accomplishment for any artist and I'm really happy to hear about what sounds like a huge event, even tho' I won't be able to make it, but... As a gigantic Tori Amos nerd, you blew my mind with that sentence. Very Happy Man-o-man... I can't wait to see this calendar! Anyway, many, many congrats to you on the show... I hope it goes great... Maybe it'll be so well-recieved that it tours the country and we ALL get a chance to see it! Very Happy

The University is open to it being a traveling show. If you attend or work at a university, just ask your art dept to contact NKU and arrange for it to visit your school.

And yeah, It was great to be asked to do the Tori painting. I like Tori too. It is for her RAINN charity. I did a couple online interviews for it. I was also asked to do a new Tori piece for another RAINN charity event.

I'll have some other music related art at the show as well. I've done some CD covers and interier paintings and designs for jazz albums and for Japanese record lables, and I my highpoint in this arena is that once Paul McCartney commissioned me to do some drawings and paintings for him after he saw my work in Kabuki. Of course I like Paul's music and I like his paintings as well. So it was a pleasure and an honor.

That is awesome to hear! I gave my graphic design professor at The University of Texas a copy of DD #51 and he loved it! He said he's going to try to work it into one of his lectures this semester. He's always looking for unique things to work into lectures that are both fun and graphic design related...your work on DD has definitely fit the bill. I'm going to email him the info about your gallery opening and the fact that it would be possible to get your work shown here. Hopefully he'll be open to pushing for it to happen. I'll let everyone know if anything works out with this...
