Me and Dan Harmon with my artwork |
The opening day/reception for the
Six Seasons And A Movie art exhibition was a rush to say the least. Since this was a fan show for the hit TV series Community on NBC there was: a costume contest, text book signings, a "What is a Mexican Halloween?" contest, a live band, and even a playable demo of the video game
Journey To The Center Of Hawkthorne which appeared in one of the latest episodes. Nothing I could write here would begin to describe how cool it all really was. I will touch on some of the mountain peaks of the evening in this post. If you're reading this and you were present at the art show please add your reviews and thoughts in the comments section.
As you can see
Dan Harmon, the creator of Community, was in attendance so I caught a picture with him in-front of my work. Since my illustration is of the "Hulk Seacrest" scene from the episode titled
Contemporary Impressionists in the 3rd season Dan told me that the thirteen year old boy in the episode was originally named Oscar so they could refer to his Bar Mitzvah as Oscar's Oscars. The script became too complicated so they changed his name to Howie among other changes.

Closer shot of my work |
This is a moving art exhibit. I'm not sure of the details, but I hear the show will move to the
Hive Gallery downtown and then to the Comikazi Expo in September. My original piece will travel with this show til September and it will be for sale along with reproductions of the piece that are $20 each. Please visit the show when you can. It's one of the most enjoyable art shows I've been a part of.

This poster probably already went to the winner of the trivia contest during today's showing.

Victor Camba heard tell of the Six Seasons And A Movie show at a time an location unbeknownst to me.

Victor then told his friend

Stephen reportedly heard about it from Chris...

Then Stephen told me.

Paolo Encarnacion's contribution |
And
Paolo hung his trollin' artwork right by the exit door where Shirley caught everyone looking at it all googly eyed.

The moment Paul realized poking a hole in the back of your raft doesn't make you go faster.
