Lutefisk Sushi Art-A-Whirl Fun this Weekend

If you haven’t seen the Lutefisk Sushi Volume C show in Minneapolis yet, this weekend (May 16-18) is a great time to do so. It’s Art-A-Whirl weekend, the biggest art event of the year in Nordeast Minneapolis!

I’ll be there some on Friday and Saturday… see the schedule below. I hope to see some of you there!

We have some special events this weekend:

Friday night we have My Art School Summer, a feature length animated cartoon made by David and Mary Sandberg. It is showing for free at 8:30 Friday night at Altered Esthetics… if you miss it there you can catch it at The Ritz at 2:00 on Saturday. Note that this cartoon is very much adults-only, and if you are under 18, we’ll have to give you the boot when it starts.

Saturday afternoon, the fantastic Roe Family Singers (who also were nice enough to play at the opening) will be playing from 3:00-5:00 or so.

Many of the artists in the show will be hanging out, drawing and socializing throughout the weekend. There will be jam comics that anyone can participate in. People will also have the opportunity to create animations for the zoetrope Ken Avidor made for the show.

Participating artists will be stopping by at random throughout the weekend, but in addition to that, you can come and meet some of them at specific times, if you’re inclined:

FRIDAY
Vas Littlecrow 5:00-10:00
David Sandberg 8:30-10:00
Mary Sandberg 8:30-10:00
Damian Sheridan 5:00-10:00
Jon Sloan 6:00-10:00
Steven Stwalley 8:30-10:00
Mike Toft 6:00-10:00

SATURDAY
The Roe Family Singers (which includes cartoonists Quillan Roe and Adam Wirtzfeld) 3:00-5:00
Kevin Cannon 12:00-2:00
Zander Cannon 12:00-2:00
Ryan Dow 1:00-?
Mike Sgier 1:00-?

SUNDAY
Danno All Day
Peter Groynom 12:00-2:00
August Schwerdfeger 12:00-3:00
Adam Wirtzfeld 12:00-2:00

There are still boxes available at this point, but it is very likely there might not be after this weekend… so if you want one, I strongly encourage you to stop down!

5-10PM Friday May 16th
12-8PM Saturday May 17th
12-5PM Saturday May 18th

I’m participating in and co-curating the Lutefisk Sushi Volume C show, which opens tonight. It features the work of over 50 Minnesota cartoonists, including the previously mentioned Kevin Cannon, who is premiering the limited print edition of Far Arden. If you can’t make it tonight, it will be up all month, with special events during Art-A-Whirl May 16th-18th.

The box set includes a copy of the first collection of my Rogues’ Gallery strips. A number of other rare and obscure mini-comics I’ve made will be available for sale there as well.

Hope to see you all there!

Ollie the Elephant says:

“Again, I do implore you to cast your vote for me. Although any of my opponents would most likely do an exemplary job of serving as cute diminutive fellow for the month of April, I postulate that I could bring a seriousness and, dare I say, sense of honor to the position that perhaps you may find my opponents to be lacking in. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. Your humble servant, Ollie the Elephant.”

Happy May Day!

You still have time to vote for your favorite cute li’l guy of the month for April! Roller Raccoon and Ollie the Elephant are currently running neck and neck. Vote! Comment! Harass your friends to fill the ballots for your favorite cute li’l guy!


Roller Raccoon says:

“I would say I hope it is all uphill from here, but I’m on skates.”


Ollie the Elephant says:

“My opponents have many fine traits that more than qualify them for this esteemed position; many perhaps moreso than myself. Nevertheless, considering me for this honor would be most appreciated, kind readers. I should note that although I am an elephant, I am a green elephant, and in no way associated with the pachyderm rapscallions that choose to ignobly align themselves with the Republican party.”

We have over 50 Minnesota cartoonists participating this time around. As with the two previous shows, the focus of the show will be on a huge box set of mini-comics. Around 50 mini-comics for $25, in a gorgeous, silkscreened box set, limited to an edition of 150.

Other features at the show will include a fantastic overview of the work of featured artist Kevin Cannon, a “Potty Humor” exhibit, and a working, hands-on zoetrope built by Volume B’s featured artist Ken Avidor.
