Join award-winning cartoonist
Keith Knight and Author/Activist Mat Schwarzman as they invade
Cincinnati's Main Public Library on Sat. Oct.
22, at 2:00 pm, to celebrate the release of two new books; Beginner's
Guide to Community-Based Arts (New Village Press) and The
Passion of the Keef: the Fourth K Chronicles Compendium (Manic D Press).
Beginner's Guide to Community Based Arts (co-authored by Knight and Schwarzman) is a comics-illustrated
travelogue that documents real artists at work revitalizing communities
across the United States. Artists include Ricardo Levins Morales, an
illustrator with the Northland Poster Collective in Minneapolis.
The Passion of the Keef is
Knight's fourth collection of his autobiographical strip, the K Chronicles.
His work can be seen in publications across the United States, including
Salon.com, Mad Magazine, the Funny Times, Buzz, ESPN the Magazine, and
Boston's Weekly Dig.
Knight's slideshow spins strange and humorous tales of
censorship, race, politics, the importance of community-based art, and
being mistaken for Boondocks creator Aaron MacGruder (who
wrote the foreward to "Passion."). The tour will hit nine
cities in ten days, including Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
the Twin Cites, Madison and Milwaukee from Oct.18-Oct. 28.

of a Black Marker, Red, White, Black & Blue (Manic D Press)
and What a Long Strange Strip It's Been (Top Shelf).
