  • Not at Quimby's, But Get Into This Anyway!!: The John Flexicorn Memorial Library

    Dig this! The John Flexicorn Memorial Library folks were here last week at Quimby’s collecting comics from contributors for their cool project. Why, what’s that, you ask? Let them tell you about it here:

    The John Flaxicorn Memorial Library is a project created to encourage
    communication and collaboration between comics artists at SAIC (The
    School of the Art Institute of Chicago) as well as outside the school
    community. Kyle O’Connell and Beth Hetland have built a library to
    house multiples of comics by staff, faculty, alumni, graduating
    seniors and underclassmen of SAIC. All of the copies at the show are
    free for anyone to take home with them. The Library includes 54
    different titles and even more contributing artists. This Library
    stands as a testament to the practice of making comics at SAIC; how it
    was practiced, how it is practiced and how it will be practiced.

    BFA Show: Sullivan Galleries, 33 S. State St. Opens March 20th at 7pm,
    runs through April 3rd
