Got a postcard from Marv Newland today. He wrote:

The Vancouver Art Gallery is launching a large scale exhibit on May 16th, to run until September 7th. It is called Krazy!, with a tip of the hat to the Kat. Comics, graphic novels, manga, games (computer) and animated films. Tim Johnson of Dreamworks co-curated the film selection and he did a good job!

This installation is tied into co-curator Bruce Grenville’s new book. Art Spiegelman also helped curate the show and will give a talk May 15th (as will Newland, May 20th, on the history of animation in Vancouver). A list of lectures tied into this exhibit is here. If you are in the Northwest, check it out!

It’s a shame it’s all up north… sounds like a great event! Hmmmmmm, Marv Newland… wasn’t he “produced by Mr. and Mrs. Newland?” That’s the second funniest screen credit (from his classic Bambi Meets Godzilla) that I know. The funniest? That has to be Hawaii Five O’s “–with Zulu as Kono!”

Marv visited New York about a year ago and was an engaging speaker for sure. I’ve never seen anyone so energetic in a Q&A: when the audience ran out of questions, he came up with his own! Definitely someone I’d come out to see again.

Ravings of a typography geek:
Marv’s hand-lettering (especially on the name and address) is amazing!
Jerry, get “Marv Newland of Canada” to design your next book!

That face looks strikingly similar to the cover of Dan Clowes’ book Caricature.
