OPENING Night pics of the BONE Exhibit at the Wexner
THE EVENT everyone here at Cartoon Books has been waiting for finally arrived, and we couldn't have been more excited. When we first arrived and took the stairs down to the exhibit, we were greeted by the huge mural Jeff did exclusively for this show. The place was packed!

Man, Jeff, all this stuff happening with your exhibits and the exhibit books is SO exciting. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new, original art you did for the mural. It is EXTRAORDINARY! I’m trying to decide if I should order a poster of it or not. I ordered 2 copies of the exhibition catalogue and expect them to arrive tomorrow. I can’t wait to see them! Now if only I can figure out a way to get to Ohio during the summer.
