Artomatic and comics in photos, part 2 - floors 5 through 8

 Artomatic ends tomorrow, so you theoretically can rush through and see these artists, as well as those featured in part 1.  Some of these people identify as cartoonists, but many of them are just influenced by the prevalence of comics and animation in modern life. Or historical images, in the case of the tattooist reinventing Rosie O'Neill's Kewpies. More captioning to come, hopefully someday.

 

 

Flash Gordon reimagined by?

 

 

 

 

K.S. Brenowitz actually makes comics:

 

 

 

 

 

Ben Claassen III had a major presence

 

 

I'm interested in this new medical material he's working on...

 

 

8th Floor, iirc:

DC Conspirator Michael Auger was tending bar.

 

 

I'm not sure where they got all the comics to tear up for their backgrounds and furniture. Lots of X-Men though... Anyone know?

Jughead

There's a John Byrne X-Men panel in there

 

 

 

I am (stained glass) BATMAN!

 

 

 

D. Feng was just selling on the 3rd floor, not exhibiting, 

but I bought her comic book and hope to have an interview soon.

and finally the Rosie O'Neill I mentioned at the top, also in the shop area on floor 3 from Sun Estes aka @sun.pokes
