Flowering Nose: The Art of Seth Fisher
()
This Friday over at Secret Headquarters, there's a new art show going on featuring the work of late comic book artist, Seth Fisher. Sadly, Seth passed away last February in a tragic accident, but his influence and artwork still lives on. Seth's style was reminiscent of great artists like Geoff Darrow, Moebius, and Katsuhiro Otomo, and he was also nominated for an Eisner Award (like the Emmy of comic books).
The show is going to feature original work from all points of his comic book career. There will also be two mini comics for sale, Bob's Life, and The Man With a Thousand Faces. In addition to those, Secret Headquarters has put together a mini sketchbook featuring Seth's artwork and concepts for Batman: Snow, featuring the silkscreened cover you see above. The really awesome part of these items being for sale is that all proceeds are going to an educational fund for Seth's son, Toufuu.
The opening goes from 8 to 11pm, but the show will be up for the next few weeks as well.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
