Portrait of the Artist: Midlife Edition
Tuesday October 15, 2024 7:00pm - 8:30pm PDT

Sponsored by Club Fugazi
Co-presented with SF Sketchfest

This star-studded evening brings together three brilliant creatives whose new books meld memoir with advice on their respective crafts. Inveterate showman Daniel Handler takes an introspective (but inevitably hilarious) approach in And Then? And Then? What Else? Author, illustrator, and Decemberists album artist Carson Ellis’s One Week in January is a beautifully illustrated chronicle of a formative moment in her journey toward becoming an artist. And cartoonist and frequent New Yorker cover artist Adrian Tomine is, perhaps, fatigued of answering audience questions; in Q&A, he addresses some of the most frequently asked—and in the process offers real insights into his life and work. This unforgettable glimpse into the creative life is hosted by writer and critic Tom Barbash. Doors at 6:30PM. $15 adv / $20 door
