WAYNO Exhibition: Animalia Astrologica: The Chinese Zodiac
Gypsy Cafe
1330 Bingham St.
Pittsburgh, PA
Gypsy Café Announces Exhibition of New
Works by Wayno
PITTSBURGH Following Squaresville, last summer's sold-out art
show at Zombo Gallery in Lawrenceville, local artist Wayno returns with
his latest exhibit, Animalia Astrologica: The Chinese Zodiac, opening
February 5, 2008 at the Gypsy Café on the South Side.
Animalia Astrologica is a series of twelve paintings, representing
the animal signs of the traditional Chinese zodiac.
Late last year, Gypsy Café owner
Melanie Evankovich invited Wayno to show some of his work in her funky,
Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, and the two collaborated to develop
a theme appropriate to the space. "When we settled on an early February
date for the opening, I immediately thought of Chinese New Year,"
said the artist. "It seemed to fit with the Café's irreverent
mystical vibe." Evankovich agreed, saying, "We have a Tarot card
reader here twice a week, and the Year of the Rat begins on February 7,
so when Wayno suggested a set of astrological pictures, I knew we had the
perfect motif."
The paintings, in Wayno's distinctive
cartoon pop style, use a limited palate consisting mainly of the traditional
red and gold colors of the Chinese New Year. The animals depicted are anything
but traditional they're shown behaving like Westerners at New Year's
time. We see a snake drinking champagne, pigs kissing at midnight, a dragon
with a hangover, and an ox making a list of resolutions.
Wayno is a cartoonist, illustrator, and
writer based in Pittsburgh. His clients include The New Yorker, Nickelodeon
Magazine, Rhino Records, McGraw-Hill Books, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian,
Pittsburgh City Paper, Table, and The New York Times. He is a member of
the National Cartoonists Society and the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators,
and is a founding board member of the ToonSeum, Pittsburgh's museum of
the cartoon arts.
Animalia Astrologica runs from February 5 through March 30, 2008 at
the Gypsy Café, located at 1330 Bingham Street on the South Side.
The café is open for lunch Tuesday through Friday, and for dinner
Tuesday through Sunday. Complete restaurant hours are posted at www.gypsycafe.net

CAROL TYLER: Sepia Tome: Telling Dad's World War II Story
021L Wexner Center, 27 West 17th
Avenue Mall
Adjacent to the Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library
Comic artist Carol Tyler will discuss
her upcoming book Sepia Tome: Telling Dad's World War II Story.
Tyler's comics first appeared in Weirdo and Wimmen's Comix
twenty years ago. Since then she has contributed to numerous comics
anthologies and published two solo works, The Job Thing in 1993
and Late Bloomer in 2005. Late Bloomer presents
a rich and powerful collection of Tyler's autobiographical comic stories
beautifully published in color by Fantagraphics.
In the introduction to Late Bloomer,
Robert Crumb writes, "She is tops, in my book, one of the best
artists alive and working in the comics medium. She has fine aesthetic
instincts... Her drawings are always pleasing to look at, warm, delicate,
inviting. Yet the content, the stories, are all about gritty reality, the
hard struggles of common, everyday life." For more information about
Carol Tyler, see her website: www.bloomerland.com.
Tyler's presentation is co-sponsored by
the Cartoon Research Library, Project Narrative, Department of Women's
Studies and the Department of History's Harvey Goldberg Program for Excellence
in Teaching
This event is part of Storytelling
2007: A Celebration of Graphic Narrative, a special year of events
and exhibitions celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of master-storyteller
Milton Caniff, the founding donor of the Cartoon Research Library.
Caniff was the creator of the comic strips Terry and the Pirates
and Steve Canyon.

puts all these trends into perspective in a fast-moving visual presentation.

Film: "Tintin et Moi"
Wexner Center For the Arts, Ohio State University
Video/Film Theater
1871 North High Street
Columbus, OH 43210-1393
Tintin et Moi explores the appeal and style of a legendary European comic strip
and character through extensive interviews with artist Herge (the
pen name of Georges Remi).
Cosponsored by Ohio State's Cartoon
Research Library as part of its year-long event "Storytelling
2007: A Celebration of Graphic Narrative."
As recognizable in Europe as Superman
or Mickey Mouse in the U.S., the character of Tintin appeared in print
across Europe for more than five decades beginning in 1929. Tintin et
Moi draws on 14 hours of interviews conducted in 1971 with Herge, who
created the comic strip The Adventures of Tintin. The film examines
the artist's signature graphic style, as well as the unparalleled popularity
of the Tintin character and his fantastic adventures set around the world.
