Small Press Spotlight on Peter S.
Conrad
Artist
Reception
Cartoon Art Museum Event: Thursday, February 10, 2011,
7:00-9:00pm
Free and open to the
public
San Francisco, CA: The Cartoon Art Museum welcomes current
Small Press Spotlight artist Peter S. Conrad for a reception on
Thursday, February 10, 2011, from
7:00-9:00pm.
The Small Press Spotlight on Peter S. Conrad is currently on display at
the Cartoon Art Museum, and runs through Sunday, March 13,
2011.
Peter Conrad is a writer and artist from the East Coast, who has spent fifteen
years in the Bay Area looking for decent pizza. He got his start doing
cartoons for a music magazine in Poughkeepsie, and from there moved up to
self-publishing his mini-comic Attempted Not Known. The first
several issues were photocopied and stapled, but Attempted Not Known has
evolved into what Conrad calls comic/objects: the last three have been a
pack of cigarettes containing 20 tiny comics about smoking, a Comics Cube that
you can twist and turn to create new stories, and a 72-page graphic novel in the
form of a cassette mix
tape.
Now a veteran of many newspapers, magazines, and anthologies, Conrad focuses on
Attempted Not Known and his journal strip Vidrio Cafe, which
chronicles the day-to-day life of an artist with a day job. You can see Conrad's
work at www.attemptednotknown.com and
www.vidriocafe.com.
About the Small Press
Spotlight:
San Francisco has been a hotbed of innovative, groundbreaking comic art since
the late 1800s with the advent of the modern comic strip. In the1960s, the
Bay Area gained further notoriety when the underground comix movement launched
from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. Today, some of the biggest
names in alternative and small-press comics hail from the Bay Area, and the
Cartoon Art Museum's Small Press Spotlight focuses on the works of these
talented
individuals.
