Sequential Smarts May 8, 2013

Like Gary Baseman, many graphic novelists use illustration to explore fantastic worlds of their own making. Join Sina Grace (Not My Bag and Li’l Depressed Boy) as he explores the conceptual underpinning of contemporary graphic storytelling and L.A.’s central place in the world of the graphic novel with panelists Hope Larson (A Wrinkle in Time, Who Is AC?), Nick Thorburn (author of What a Gas and lead singer of the band Islands), and Malachi Ward (Expansion, Utu, and Ritual). A Q&A and book signing follow the program.

*Arrive early and view the exhibition—Gary Baseman: The Door Is Always Open as well as Audrey’s Museum Store will remain open until 8:00 p.m. Program ticketholders gain free gallery admission! Also enjoy a no-host bar and the sounds of DJ Allen Voskanian (Bossa:nova) from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
