Showing through October 6 at the Edgewood College Gallery, Little Thing Called Love by MFA candidate Pranav Sood, don't miss the Artist Lecture on Wednesday, October 2 at 2pm! Sood’s chromatic, graphic op-art paintings begin at the declaration of independence from the cultural structure of his home in India, crossing the thresholds of finding the expression and challenges of developing a durable, lasting love and completes a circle proclaiming that love to the family. The series gives evidence of the distinctions of how love is formed within the Indian cultural structure along with elements of love that transcend both culture and geography.

Dear Students,
Let friends know that there is a Making Comics class over the summer in the Comics Room taught by one of my favorite students and cartoonists, Wilder ,(earthname: Jason Kartez) This is the class I would have loved to have taken when I was in school.
MC1 and MC2 students please know that because it is a 448 special topics class - my understanding is that you can you can take it again this summer and get credit. It’s never the same class twice. It will keep you in shape and making comics over the summer. Plus…. the Comics Room!
I look forward to seeing you on Monday,
Prof. SASQUATCH!
Dear Students,
I don’t know if there is still space left in this class but if there is and you want to keep up your comics practice or even start it, you should take it.
Wilder (AKA Jason Kartez) is one of my favorite students who has become one of my favorite cartoonists. He has a completely original take on things. If I wasn’t on book deadline I would take this class just to walk on the wild side of how comics can be taught.
I’ll be one of the visiting artist’s during the Making Comics summer semester and I’ll be happy to see you.
Dear Students,
Here are some Comics Room photos taken in the last seven days.
INCLUDING SATURDAY!
Do you know how wonderful it is to be in a room full of people all making original comics at the same time? Do you know happy you make me?
Very very very happy.
Prof. SASQUATCH

Aaron Bohrod at the University of Wisconsin - Madison
In 1948, Chicago artist Aaron Bohrod arrived in Madison to begin work as the University’s second artist in residence. In an oral history interview with the Smithsonian nearly forty years later, he admits that he took the position with some trepidation. He worried that life on a university campus in a smaller city such as Madison would not offer the same kind of excitement and inspiration he was accustom to. When the University offered him the job, Bohrod was known for his particular brand of social realism that focused on the everyday minutiae of the city. He painted sprawling city scenes of his beloved Chicago and New York. During the Second World War, Bohrod served as an artistic war correspondent in the Pacific Theater for Life Magazine. His paintings in this period portrayed the violence and trauma of combat.
His predecessor at the University, the renowned rural landscape painter John Steuart Curry, left him big shoes to fill. Bohrod soon found himself well integrated into Wisconsin, however. Students adored him and he found himself well-suited to the mentorship role the position as artist in residence afforded him.
In the photo above, Bohrod discusses a painting with University of Wisconsin art students.
Bohrod also interacted with the Wisconsin community outside the University. Like his predecessor, Bohrod took part in the University’s growing rural art outreach programs. Through these programs, Bohrod would occasionally run classes in Wisconsin’s farming communities. He also frequently served as a judge for rural art contests. Here he is discussing art with an aspiring artist in rural Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin landscape became an artistic inspiration for him as well. It was here where he revolutionized his style of painting. While studying a river rock for a landscape painting, he became enamored with the curves and striations on the rock. His artistic style changed almost immediately. He began to produce trompe-l'œil inspired still life pieces, and soon began to experiment with magical realism.
Bohrod’s Hieronymous Detail pays homage to the surrealist Renaissance painter Hieronymous Bosch. In the painting, a ripped corner of a Bosch painting is taped to a surface covered in colorful blobs of paint. Bohrod foregrounds three miniature figurines, each rendered in the careful detail he is known for. Always rooted in the Midwest, Bohrod playfully included a rusting and crumpled can of the Michigan-based brand Bosch beer. .
Though Bohrod moved away from landscapes as early as the 1950′s, he often painted things in the community around him. Like in his 1963 portrait of Conrad Elvehjem. Set to a bright red background, Elvehjem’s torn portrait is one of many items in a collage that Bohrod carefully renders.
Portrait of Conrad Elvehjem, 1963.
Though initially a risky move for the young artist, his residency at the University of Wisconsin allowed him the freedom to experiment and turned out to be a source of new inspiration. He stayed on as the University’s artist in residence until his retirement in 1972. He passed away in 1992 at his home in Monona.

He specializes in art, philosophy, politics and education, and considers his engagement with the visual arts as having three avenues: studio practice, theoretical research and teaching. In his studio practice he mainly works in two-dimensional media, although in his artistic education he specialized in both painting and sculpture. His studio interests extend to publishing, typography, and graphic design. His graphic art covers web-design, illustration, layout and cover design. As a graphic designer he designed and illustrated a series of Italian textbooks, children's Italian readers, and cover-design and layout- and page-setting of several academic books. He also contributed as a free-lance political cartoonist in weekly and monthly newspapers and magazines. He exhibited in solo and collective shows in the UK, Europe, the US and Asia and he mostly works in two-dimensional (mixed) media. He has written 10 books on art, philosophy and education.
