THE ART OF COMICS: A RETROSPECTIVE OF THE CREATORS AND CHARACTERS WHO SHAPED POPULAR CULTURE

I curated, designed and installed a show for the Box Gallery, a space created for exhibitions that reveal Kansas City’s cultural arts and history.

A brief description of the show from their website:

“This exhibit explores the evolution of the funny pages, from Doonesbury to Calvin and Hobbes to the new frontier that is web comics, all through the lens of the company that resulted from that legendary partnership. The comics presented in this show represent some of the most groundbreaking, monumental and impactful to come from Andrews McMeel Universal throughout its 47-year history.”
