Sour Candy Illustration and friends present a food-centric gallery show: The King of Breakfast: America’s Morning Meal “The cow was involved, the chicken was dedicated, but the pig… the pig was committed!” The King of Breakfast is an exploration of the cultural, symbolic, and personal meanings behind the content and rituals of the American breakfast. It is also a celebration of the gift givers of the breakfast hour: the cow, the chicken and, most importantly, the pig. For it is the pig, who makes the greatest sacrifice for the sake of the morning meal. The King of Breakfast will feature the illustrative works of: Nyssa Oru: norhuu.tumblr.com Marlowe Dobbe: marlowe.dobbe.com Tandy Kunkle: www.tandy-kunkle.squarespace.com/illustration Robert Dunsmuir: www.rdunsmuir.com Maggie Burant: www.maggieburant.com Maddie Loftesnes: maddieloftesnes.tumblr.com Molly Mendoza: www.mollymendoza.com Wren Sauer: wrensdraws.tumblr.com Colin Laurel: www.colinhendersonart.com Sage Howard: www.sagehowardillustration.com Rex Waters: www.rexwaters.com Come see the show @ PNCA (511 NW Broadway) from July 2nd-31st Opening reception will be held on July 2nd (from 5-9 PM) Please join us for some art and some good times!

Hey. It’s been a while. How are you?…Oh me? I’m making a show. That, up there, is what it might look like. Its called The Boonies….yea, like The Goonies but not. Here, I’ll sum it up real quick:

The Boonies is a mystery driven animated comedy about Francis, a twelve year old loner child who finds herself stuck in the strange kitschy town of Boonsville, a place prone to freak storms and home to a number of terrifying cults. To pass time, she beings stealing the towns member’s belongings, only to realize that she is collecting the secrets that piece together the spellbinding mystery around the towns history. 

Great. Glad we caught up. There is much more to come in the following weeks. I will be proposing this baby next Friday at 11:30 at PNCA for my thesis, ya know. You should really stop by and I can tell you so much more about Boonsville! It’s really an odd town, really. 

[maddieloftesnes]

Oh, wow! This is happening today!!

[maddieloftesnes]

Francis, Remmy, and Celeste sketches galore!
