Light Grey Art Lab in Minneapolis have another great show opening this Friday that has been curated by Amy Ng of Pikaland! SMART featured a call for art that is clever, subtle, and thoughtful. Only a slightly daunting task....
I decided to apply figuring it would be a good challenge if I was accepted into the show (and also because Amy is awesome). I then proceeded to agonize over what I'd illustrate for weeks after being accepted into the show. Everything I thought of just seemed so contrived because I was thinking about it so hard. After flipping through some old sketchbooks I was finally inspired by a doodle I had done years ago.
If you live in/near the Twin Cities, the opening reception is this Friday at 7! Prints are now available in their online shop.
I have to thank Lilly for the clever title of this illustration. Pun master.
Also, here is a silly doodle of how I imagine most participants in this show to have felt when they heard they made the cut...
