Drawn to Letters Art Show - August 2011


An art show that features both the characters of the Alphabet and the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society.
August 5th to August 31st
Opening Reception August 5th from 6pm to 9pm

The 26 characters of the English Alphabet are what we rely on to communicate in our society. Whether text message, e-mail, signage, books, or your Facebook status it boils down to knowing your P’s and Q’s.The Philadelphia Cartoonist Society is out to prove that these emblems of communication are built upon, well, character. Each member of the PCS will be interpreting one letter from the Alphabet to be on display at Brave New Worlds Comic Shop this August. From paintings to pen and ink, cartoons to chiaroscuro, all the art will be priced to sell for those who are graphically inclined. From images to icons this exhibition will be one you won’t want to miss.

Hey All,

In addition to the mighty Drawn to Letters show opening tomorrow, I've got a few pieces in Attack of the CMYK over at AxD gallery on 10th street. I know first friday can get pretty hectic but if you can find the motivation, the show should be a good one. all the work i've seen so far has looked killer!

here's one of my 3 pieces for the show:

My Morning Jacket

Here's a poster I did for the band My Morning Jacket. They basically said to come up with whatever I wanted and this is the end result. Anyone at the show tonight in St. Louis can pick up one these posters, they are 18"x24" 4-color screenprints.


And in other news, I just got my "damaged" prints back from UPS after they denied my insurance claim, so basically I now have a batch of slightly bent prints that I am offering up for sale at a discounted price to try and recoup my costs on the print run. Here is a photo so you can see the damage.


It's only on the bottom left corner and the prints are slightly bent, if you were going to frame the piece chances are you won't see much of the bend. The size of the print is 16"x24" and is a 3-color screenprint on cougar natural 100# cover stock.

So I am offering these "bent" ones at $25 each plus $8 for shipping in the US or $15 international. The prints will be sent USPS rolled in a tube, i'm not going to bother with insurance on these since they are already bent.

Also, if anyone doesn't want a bent version I have about 6 "mint" copies of the print run that I held on too and never sent to the gallery, those ones are $50 each and $15 for shipping in the US rolled in a tube sent USPS priority mail with insurance.

If anybody would like one they can email me at: montygog@yahoo.com
