Murphy Books at Comic-Con Booth 4833

Comic-Con San Diego is where it’s at and Murphy Design, located at Booth 4833, will be delivering creative books, movies, t-shirts and signed collectibles. We will be sharing a booth with fine artists Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson, premiering a new 20th Birthday Celebration Art Exhibit for Cartoon Network and showcasing new artist originals.

Visit Murphy Books at Booth 4833 and check out the brand new mini exhibition catalog created for fine artist, Martin Wittfooth. This 36 page, 5x7" and full-color production showcases 29 oil paintings and original photography in a inspired volume titled, “Martin Wittfooth Painting Collection—Zóion Mythology No. 1.”

Martin Wittfooth is a Brooklyn based painter who draws upon industrial and natural elements, often displaying masterful intersections that violently clash on the canvas. Martin’s work implores the viewer to question the status quo, challenge what we take for granted, and proceed with caution on one’s daily course. In other words, “Martin Wittfooth mangles the beauty of nature with the abandoned cityscape left behind by humankind.”

Please stop by Murphy Books booth 4833 at Comic-Con in San Diego July 11—15 and see new projects for Martin Wittfooth (36 page mini zine), Cartoon Network (36 page mini zine), Tim Mantoani (Sold Out—Behind Photographs), Ray Caesar (Sold Out Book and Limited Edition), Mark Murphy (OIL, Pluto, Letterpress Editions, Lino Print Editions, Originals, Zines), Jeff Soto (Sold Out Potato Stamp Dreams, No Hope and Storm Clouds), Jason Shawn Alexander (Undertow and Exhibit Catalogs), Murphy Books, Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson.

The Artist Studio and Quick Tour : CN20Anniversary

One of the greatest privileges in my life has been to take time out (often) and visit artists’ studios all around the world. Books wall to wall, boxes of supplies, metal trays with years worth of dried paint dabs, libraries of books, curiosities, a who’s who of artist works, scraps of material, stacks of paintings/drawings/clippings/and just stacks of stuff.

“You get the idea, Right?” I love it. And to get you pumped up for the premier of Cartoon Network’s 20^th Anniversary Exhibition, to be unveiled at Comic-Con in San Diego July 12—15, 2012, I thought to share a picto-tour of some of the 75 artists featured. Save the date and more information shared soon. Enjoy. (Above, Karen Barbour)
