Celebrating the 200th issue of the renowned Image Comics series by Erik Larsen, one of the founding partners of Image Comics, this exhibition features more than 40 pieces personally selected by Larsen from his archives.
The exhibition takes place at the Cartoon Art Museum at 655 Mission Street, San Francisco and I was lucky enough to join the artist's reception on Feb 28 with a special guided tour of the exhibition conducted by Larsen himself. Larsen talks about each of the pieces he selected which highlights the the artist's most memorable milestones circulating his creation.
After the tour, Larsen opened the floor for a Q & A session as well as signing fan items and photo ops. Overall a very awesome experience because I was a big fan of his artwork since my junior high years. His exhibition runs until May 31st.

This is great, John! For a review, write more. Maybe select a work to write about or write something about the artist, why you admire him. See examples of reviews on blogs like Hyperallergic. There's a link to it on my homepage, near the top of the column on the left.
