Local cartoonist Eric Dyck hopes his show of his art at Blueprint Records will give people a taste of what he is all about.
His art show of 12 of his favourite works on display at Blueprint Records opened in November and will run until Feb. 7.
“ It has some Slaughterhouse Slough comics and three or four groovy gig posters from 2001-2009,” Dyck described, who moved back to Alberta from Moncton where his wife was taking her degree. When he lived in Calgary, he was creating a lot of gig posters for venues like the Broken City.
He started a comic strip ‘Mon Qui Towne’ in 2007 reflecting his observations of life as an Albertan relocating to the east coast.
He revamped it into a Lethbridge-centric comic, Slaughterhouse Slough.
“People were always asking me about New Brunswick, so this was a fun way to show them and let them know I was thinking about them,” he continued adding the spirit has continued with Slaughterhouse Slough.
He followed his wife, Teri to Lethbridge for a job at Lethbridge College as well, where she accepted a position on the faculty.
“Being a freelance artist, I can do that anywhere,’ he said, bristling with energy.
“ I’m looking forward to it explaining a little bit of who I am,” he said.
He put together a mini-book of his works which is for sale there.
