Kal Cartoon news from Romania
From: Kevin Kallaugher
Friends and colleagues
I wanted to share with you some recent news I hope you might find of interest.
I have just returned from a very interesting "Cartoon Diplomacy" tour of Romania. It included an exhibition of my work at the National Museum of Contemporary arts as well as lectures to High School and university students, journalists and citizens. We had a great deal of media coverage including a nice piece in Agence France Presse which has had international pick-up. I include it below.
There is also a video of my opening remarks at the exhibition here:
Also, an exhibition of my cartoons which originally shown in St Petersburg, Russia is now on tour. It will be opening soon in Kaliningrad, Russia.
Closer to home, here in Baltimore I enjoyed an interesting discovery. A former mayor of Baltimore disclosed recently that a cartoon I penned 20 years ago was responsible for a change in a city policy. You can read the story here:
March 2013 marks my 35th year with The Economist. To celebrate I am preparing major retrospective book which will be available within the year.
I will keep you posted.
Best
Kal

June 1: John Fantucchio in Art On The Edge
From: Mary Fantucchio:
John G. Fantucchio will have three paintings on display in Alexandria at the Del Ray Artisans Gallery. We'd like to invite you to the opening reception - food and drinks will be served. Come and meet John on Friday, June 1, 7 - 10. The title of the show is 'Art On the Edge.' It's an all experimental art exhibit. His stuff may look like something you'd find hanging in the lounge on the Starship Enterprise - but sorry, no comic book artwork. The address is 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA, 22301-1124. Their phone number is 703-838-4827.
For those joining us late, John is a comics fanzine artist of the 1960s who turned to fine art and teaching.

Silver Spring firm estimates cost of Avengers damage; go watch Miyazaki instead
The Silver Spring-based KINETIC ANALYSIS CORPORATION has provided a "Chitauri Invasion of New York City: Post Event Damage Estimate" for the Avengers movie. It's not pretty. Everyone's insurance rates are going up!*
Judging from their address, KAC must be right across the street from NOAH, so you can get your hurricane prediction and insurance loss estimate in one easy visit, and still probably have time to catch a Studio Ghibli movie during the AFI festival which runs another month.
*The Hollywood Reporter spotted this first.

David Hagen on Artomatic's 8th Floor!
From: David Hagen:
I'll have 22 whimsical paintings on display at this year's Artomatic.
I'm nestled on the 8th Floor (8 is gr8) in space #256 (not that there are numbers up or anything). The best way to find it once you step off the elevator is to make a left at the water fountain and then it's the first room on the right. Look for the Invisible Man!
"Meet the Artist" Night(also known as "Buy the Artist Beer" Night) is Saturday, June 2, 7-9pm.
Kitty corner to the Crystal City subway stop. Follow the flow of hipsters.
