In this exhibition of pen and ink illustrations for his first graphic novel, "The Legend of Hedgehog Boy," Visual Aid artist Rene Capone appropriates and humorously references Japanese comics. Dynamically integrating image and text, Capone tells a story of an abused child who rejects the role of victim and enters an alternate reality where he sets off on a dangerous adventure of revenge, self discovery, and ultimately love and redemption.
Join the artist and author at his book signing on March 3, 2009 from 6-7PM, at the James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center in the San Francisco Main Library, Third Floor.
This exhibition was curated by Jared Ledesma, from Visual Aid's X-Team.
