SUMMARY:Chicago: Trina Robbins at the SAIC
DESCRIPTION:The SAIC Painting & Drawing Department & Chicago Alternative Comics Expo co – present a lecture by Trina Robbins. \nIn 1970\, Trina Robbins produced the very first all-woman comic book\, It Ain’t me\, Babe. In 1972\, she was one of the founding mothers of Wimmin’s Comix\, the longest-lasting women’s anthology comic book. (1972–1992). In the mid-1980s\, tired of hearing publishers and editors say that girls don’t read comics and that women had never drawn comics\, she co-wrote (with Catherine Yronwode) Women and the Comics\, the first of what would become a series of histories of women cartoonists. She has been responsible for rediscovering previously forgotten early women cartoonists like Nell Brinkley\, Tarpe Mills\, and Lily Renee. Her new book\, Babes in Arms\, due out in Summer 2017\, collects the work of four Golden Age women who fought the Axis with pen and ink\, drawing comics that starred beautiful\, courageous women who didn’t need to be rescued by some guy. \nThis lecture is open to the public\, but non-SAIC attendees must have a state issued ID to check in with security upon entering the building. \n—— \nThe Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) is a weekend-long celebration of independent comics\, inspired by Chicago’s rich legacy as home to many of underground and alternative comics’ most talented artists– past\, present and future. Featuring comics for sale\, workshops\, exhibitions\, panel discussions and more\, CAKE is dedicated to fostering community and dialogue amongst independent artists\, small presses\, publishers and readers. \nhttp://www.cakechicago.com/

SUMMARY:New York: Ezequiel Garcia at Desert Island
DESCRIPTION:Argentinian cartoonist Ezequiel Garcia heads to Desert Island in Brooklyn to celebrate the release of Growing Up in Public. \n  \nAbout Growing Up in Public: \nIn the American debut of his graphic memoir\, Argentine cartoonist Ezequiel García explores the trials and tribulations of transitioning into his thirties as a working artist where the only thing more uncertain than the source of his next paycheck is the future of his hometown — Buenos Aires. García’s comics are influenced by the film\, architecture\, and rock music of the past\, but that source of inspiration is getting harder to find when big banks are taking over historic theaters\, cultural groups are facing hostile eviction\, and modern art is at an aesthetic all-time low. While several relationships blossom\, García struggles to accomplish his goal of getting published without becoming distracted by the accompanying drama. Like Lucy Knisley’s An Age of License spun with Moon and Ba’s Daytripper\, Ezequiel García finds meaning in autobiography and embraces all the promise\, panic\, and post–punk hallucinations that come with it. Garcia’s visual storytelling alternates among finely-crafted\, architecturally breathtaking depictions of Buenos Aires\, revelatory\, intimate selfexamination\, and phantasmorgical metaphorical flights\, drawn in nuanced\, expressive\, grungy brush strokes.
