Jonny Negron Book Release Party

JONNY NEGRON
BOOK RELEASE & ART SHOW
@ SECRET HEADQUARTERS
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5TH
BEGINNING @ 7PM

We are extremely excited to announce our art show and book release party with the one and only Jonny Negron! SHQ will be his only stop in Los Angeles, so this is your chance to meet the man. Come grab a drink, a copy of his killer new book and, if you’re lucky, one of the gorgeous pieces of art that will be for sale.

 From PictureBox: An acclaimed “master of voluptuousness” in the tradition of Robert Crumb and Tom of Finland, his highly erotic drawings occupy a space that draws from fashion drawings, video games, manga, and street art. Negron is his first book and explores the ample proportions of his vision. It features all-new drawings and comics. This is a guide to his brave new world, produced in as lush a package as the women in his work: printed on high-gloss paper, this dust-jacketed paperback is an art object unto itself.

PS We have some exciting events coming up later in October with Hope Larson and Thomas Jane, so stay tuned for details!

Johnny Ryan Book Release Party @ SHQ

WAR & PENIS BOOK RELEASE @ SHQ
FRIDAY, JUNE 22nd
STARTING AT 7pm

Your wait for disgusting and hilarious new Johnny Ryan comics is over! Join Johnny and the SHQ crew this Friday, June 22nd to celebrate the release of his new book, War & Penis.

The story behind it all:
“A few months ago, illustrators / comic book makers / funny people Johnny Ryan (creator of Prison Pit, Blecky Yuckerella, Angry Youth Comix) and Frédéric Fleury (founder of Frederic Magazine) started insulting each other by posting obscene, crude, hilarious drawings of the other on their Facebook walls. As they are both proud young men and also profoundly disturbed in their brains, they kept this going for, like, six months or something. Finally, here is the book that collects all those drawings, including an introduction by ZEN MAFIA’s Nate Walton, explaining how the whole sorry mess began.”

RSVP on Facebook here.

Description of The Year of the Beasts from :01 First Second:
“Every summer the trucks roll in, bringing the carnival and its infinite possibilities to town. This year Tessa and her younger sister Lulu are un-chaperoned and want to be first in line to experience the rides, the food… and the boys. Except this summer, jealousy will invade their relationship for the first time, setting in motion a course of events that can only end in tragedy, putting everyone’s love and friendship to the test.”
