The “Out of Sequence” show, which includes a Smithson strip (not the one excerpted above), is now up at the Thorne-Sagendorph Gallery at Keene State College, Keene, NH. The show features art by Shaenon Garrity, Nicholas Gurewitch, Hope Larson, Jenn Manley Lee, and Drew Weing, among others, and will run until December 6. I hope you’ll check it out if you’re in the area!
Don’t think I’ve shown this here before … from 2005-2008 I was the artist for a webcomic called Smithson, written by the formidable Shaenon K. Garrity. The strip ran for several years and was into its fifth chapter when it went on hiatus. In case you don’t have time to look through the archives, here’s the short version of Chapter 4.
Here’s a short video from Univ. of Illinois on the “Out of Sequence” exhibit (featuring a Smithson strip) currently on display in the Krannert Museum. Nice shots of the installation and interviews with co-curators John Jennings and Damian Duffy.

Anybody out there in the Champaign area that’s seen the show?

Gemma finally gets her close-up in Smithson.
Warming up for Smithson. Micki’s ready for her cameo in Robotech (or maybe Area 88, my other manga touchstone circa 1986.)
