Cartoon Limbo At VENU Gallery

"Cartoon Limbo," an exhibit which featured 29 artists and their cartoons, correspondence, rejection slips, anecdotes, and stunning original art related to the business of cartoon art and illustrations which have been turned down for publication at some point, was a great success. In its one month run at Venu Gallery, it was attended by over 1,000 people.
