HORRORSHOW The art of Johnny Ryan

HORRORSHOW The Art of JOHNNY RYAN
At Secret Headquarters
Friday November 30th, 2007

Dozens of new paintings inspired by cult, horror and exploitation films. If that is not enough for you, there will be popcorn and movie inspired snacks. And if that isn't enough for you MALO-CANTINA will be providing margaritas. An odd mix, I know, but we'll make it work.

Johnny first developed his hilarious drawings in the self-published title Angry Youth Comix. Now published by Fantagraphics Books, Ryan's AYC has become the international bastion of lowbrow humor cartooning. Ryan's utterly unpretentious taboo-tackling is an infectious bombardment of political incorrectness.

Johnny will attend the opening from 7pm to 10pm.

Secret Headquarters will feature Ryan's one-of-a kind original works of art through January 7th, 2008.

SETH FISHER: Flowering Nose

Secret Headquarters
is proud to announce the opening of

Flowering Nose: The Art of Seth Fisher

Seth Fisher, the critically acclaimed artist responsible for drawing duties on Green Lantern: Willworld, Flash: Time Flies, Vertigo Pop: Tokyo, Happydale: Devils in the Desert, and Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big In Japan, passed away January 30th, 2006.

Secret Headquarters will be celebrating the art of Seth Fisher with a display of original work that spans his all too short comic book career. With work that channels the likes of Darrow, Moebius and Otomo, we are engulfed in a world of candy colored, calculated chaos. Fisher's pages are oozing with complicated beasts and the visions of sleepwalking dreams. Brains are exploding and monsters are comfortable among the overgrowth of these surreal, tightly rendered environments. An Eisner award nominee, Fisher's artwork will continue to inspire far into the future.

In addition to Fisher's original artwork, we will have available for purchase two mini comics: Bob's Life and The Man With a Thousand Noses. SHQ will also offer a never before seen (or printed) mini sketchbook which features Seth's Batman:Snow concepts and layouts. Copies of Seth's Marvel and DC work will also be on hand.

All proceeds from the art, mini's and books will be going to Seth's son's educational fund. If you cannot make it to Secret Headquarters for the show, but would like to donate, Paypal payments can be made directly using the following email: seth@floweringnose.com

Opening Reception: Friday, November 9th, 2007, 8pm - 11pm

Complimentary beverages will be served.
