Reception, Sat., Oct 24, 6-8 pmArt to Lunch: Thinking Outside the Bag with Cartoonist Mike Jenkins After a 25 year career as an Editorial Cartoonist, Mike Jenkins left the newspaper business but is still recovering (though he occasionally falls off the wagon). He lives in Arlington, Virginia with his wife Tish and daughter Maggy and works primarily as a caricaturist. He started his company Capital Artworks to provide caricaturists for events around the DC area as well as custom artwork for corporate, government and private clients.
When his two older children left for college, he started doodling on Maggy's school lunch bags. When she mentioned one night during dinner that all the kids in cafeteria would run to see her lunch bag every day, they knew they were onto something. Mike's wife posted the next bag on Facebook, and they were stunned by the positive reaction. That's when Mike knew the pressure was on, and he was back to facing a daily deadline!
PLUS! Art to Lunch: Thinking Outside the Bag, a Handmade Storybook with 17 of Mike's Lunch Bag art which will be available for sale at the reception.
Mike's work can be seen daily on Instagram and Twitter @CapitalArtworks and on his website at www.CapitalArtworks.com
