Tonight is the opening reception for the artist Mark Bodnar at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. (Friday, November 6, 8 – 11PM) And We All Go is the name of the La Luz solo show and it looks pretty sweet. Check out some of his water-color on paper paintings he did for the show. His cartoon style is pretty awesome.

“Mark Bodnar’s work springs forth from the long tradition of cartooning, but he succeeds in making it feel contemporary, rather than treating it as a static object of fetish. His paintings exhibit all of the clarity and directness of the great illustrators of the past and his technique is marked by simplicity, contrast and balance. But his greatest strength lies in the meaning behind the images. Bodnar’s work feels more like illustrations to stories that have yet to be written. Creating windows into wonderful worlds is magic of the first order. Mark Bodnar is a master of that particular brand of alchemy.” Stephen Worth – Director, ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive

So if you’re in the area and enjoy great artwork, be sure to see Mark Bodnar’s show.
