In Your Face..

No, I'm not trying to be mean or sassy...In Your Face is a unique cartoon exhibit on display at Boyd Place in Bangor! You might think that it's weird for an independent senior living facility to host an art exhibit -- but they hold them all the time. Their most recent exhibit featured dozens of handmade quilts by area quilters that were out of this world exquisite!

But back to the cartoons....

There are a bunch of Maine cartoonists and illustrators on display including our very own Mark Ricketts! Other illustrators include George Danby and and Chris Peary from the Bangor Daily News, Michael Fisher and Steven Meyers from the Portland Press Herald, Joe Marshall from The Islander, and Josh Alves from The Weekly.

So stop by and check out the amazing talent we have right here in our own backyard. You won't be disappointed!
