Comics influences in Falls Church art show

Nature, Other Themes Abound in Fall Church Arts' All Member Show [fine art]

Falls Church News-Press July 25, 2024: 2

"While artworks in the Western tradition often draw from classical mythology and classic literature, in the M-Z Member Show, the narrative references are often to comics. Watch Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder swing into action in Jennifer Murphy's "Pieces of the Dynamic Duo!" She has assembled and left, at times, unassembled pieces of a jigsaw puzzle image of an early Batman comic book on a traditional canvas. On the more genteel side of comics, Todd Schvaneveldt offers us an eponymous acrylic based on the 1950's French comic "Mireille," presenting fashion stylistics from the era in which this comic book first appeared. Nine Wells Prystay also taps into an agreeable comic-art style in her acrylic/pen/mohair "Nina Beside Herself.""

Deadpool & Wolverine in WaPo and PCHH

Deadpool and Wolverine assemble. The result is hilarious. [in print as A Marvel apology that's funny as [bleep].

A tag team of sarcasm and star power make "Deadpool & Wolverine" the most enjoyable Marvel superhero movie in years.

PLEASE NOTE: While not required, SPX strongly encourages everyone attending the festival to wear a mask while indoors to limit the transmission of Covid-19 and other illnesses that commonly arise from crowded conventions.
