DBL Launch / Babybel Wax Bodysuit & The Beaver Zine Library
December 8, 2016 @ 10:00 pm-2:00 am
Join us in celebrating the launch of the Beaver’s new zine library, curated by Lee D’Angelo, as well as Eric Kostiuk Williams’ new comic book, Babybel Wax Bodysuit!
// // // // //
“In Babybel Wax Bodysuit, cartoonist Eric Kostiuk Williams presents a collection of short stories delving into self-worth, Internet culture, and the fascinating grotesqueries offered up by our science-fiction present, all rendered in what curator Luis Jacob (“Form Follows Fiction: Art and Artists in Toronto”) has referred to as a “unique visual style, narrated in a fabulous spirit of liquid intelligence.”
In this issue: our author, as a closeted teen, navigates comic book message boards and befriends a Pentecostal Christian! Keith Haring fights off gentrification in the 1980’s East Village! A familiar pop star breaks free of her Las Vegas promoters, one hundred years in the future! And more…”
The comic launch will be going from 7 to 10pm, with dancing to follow.
