A Visit With William Stout

We made a short trip to Southern California to visit William Stout last week. We photographed a bunch of recently completed artwork, filmed Bill coloring in some of his new ink pieces using watercolor, and discussed his new Comics three-volume set.

Bill is like ten artists in one. He can do anything and everything! Each time we visit we come up with a new project to start. I’ll give you an example. As Vicky and I were leaving Bill’s studio I noticed a large stack of recently finished originals that he completed for a project. Vicky and I immediately started brainstorming a book idea. I asked Bill if we could take the art home with us to photograph, and before we knew it we were the caretakers of over 100 originals while driving home and talking about the our approach to the new book.

We aim to bring you a fresh library of new Stout books!

Enjoy,

John

J.A.W. Cooper’s 2023 Solo Show “Curious”

J.A.W. Cooper’s 2023 solo show “Curious” at @gallerynucleus in the Los Angeles area is now available to view online (and also in person through April 30th)!

Cooper completed over 30 new originals that were revealed during the opening night on April 15th from 5:00-8:00PM. We were delighted to see Cooper swarmed by visitors. The line to meet and talk with Cooper lasted throughout the full three-hour premier and eventually had to be moved outside since the gallery had to close. It was great to see everyone there. We had such a good time!

New Graphic Novel by Jeffrey Alan Love Coming From Flesk!

New graphic novel by Jeffrey Alan Love in development from Flesk!

A note from Jeff:

“I finished painting the pages for my next graphic novel with Flesk Publications last week. Whenever I finish a project I immediately think that I should redo it, as I’ve learned so much in the making of it, and I could do a better job of it now. There’s so much left to learn, and I hope I have the years left in my life to grow as an artist and writer in the ways that I hope to. Next up is working with a letterer to find a type that integrates with the art, painting the cover, and then letting John Fleskes work his magic.”

The book is currently being designed. We will announce a release date as soon as we are done.

Enjoy,

John
