Let Me Have More Than You Want To Give And I Will Give You Back More Than You Want To Take is an exhibition of recent work at Wonder Fair (803 Massachusetts in Lawrence, KS) by Lawrence-based artist Kelly John Clark.

This exhibition will feature a series of large scale colored pencil drawings produced by the artist in his home during the last 9 months. The drawings, which consist of soft colors, intricate patterning, and meditative line work, encompass Clark’s ongoing animosity towards aging, companionship, and modernization. The gallery reception for Let Me Have More… will be held Saturday, February 13th from 6-9pm, and will feature limited edition merchandise produced by the artist as well as live music by Blakey Bear beginning at 8pm.

This Friday, October 30 from 6-9pm King-Cat Comics and Drawn & Quarterly present John Procellino on the Road at Wonder Fair Art Gallery (803 Massachusetts in Lawrence, KS). The event will include a slide show, book signing and conversation celebrating 20 years of King Cat Comics and the release of Porcellino’s new collection Map of My Heart.

From the gallery:
“John Porcellino was born in Chicago, in 1968, and has been writing, drawing, and publishing minicomics, comics, and graphic novels for over twenty-five years.

“His celebrated self-published series King-Cat Comics, begun in 1989, has inspired a generation of cartoonists. Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man, a collection of King-Cat stories about Porcellino’s experiences as a pest control worker, won an Ignatz Award in 2005, and Perfect Example, first published in 2000, chronicles his struggles with depression as a teenager. King-Cat Classix, published in 2007, is a comprehensive overview of the zine’s first fifty issues, and Thoreau at Walden is a poetic expression of the great philosopher’s experience and ideals.

“According to cartoonist Chris Ware, ‘John Porcellino’s comics distill, in just a few lines and words, the feeling of simply being alive.’”
