The WVU Print Club printed t-shirts during the student night reception of the “My Hero!” exhibition at the WVU Art Museum. WVU Printmaking students printed a steady stream of comics themed t-shirts in conjunction with other programming the museum staff had planned that night. The entire museum was FILLED with students and activity, it was a great night!
The “My Hero!” exhibition in general is a really fun exhibition with work that celebrates and questions our relationship to comics and superheroes. I will be giving a talk about the history of American comics and their relationship to contemporary at the WVU Art Museum on Wednesday November 28th.
