Oddball Art Labs presents

“Cartoon Cavalcade”
A Celebration of all things ‘Toony!

We are currently looking for artwork for this year’s playful summer show. Be a part of it all when things get ‘Toony’ this July in Oddball Art Labs 2019 show, Cartoon Cavalcade!

We’re looking for all sorts of odd art that brings everyone back to those Saturday mornings of our childhoods perched on the couch eating a whole box of Frosted Flakes while watching the antics of all of our favorite cartoon characters.

Paintings, Drawings, original comic pages, animation cells (real or fake), your original cartoon characters and quirky re-imaginings of old cartoon characters, 3D sculpts, Mixed-Media recreations of famous historical events with cartoon characters instead of the real people…we want it all.

Some thoughts to get your imaginations started:

Your original characters that could easily be in an animated feature…yes please!
The moon landing, but with Pigs in Space…awesome!
A Wacky Races/Deathrace 2000 mashup…why not!
Every famous cartoon dog in playing poker…that would be fun!
The Transformers as kitchen appliances…I’d watch that!
Fake mascots for breakfast cereals that don’t exist…can never have too many of those!
Famous painting recreations, but with cartoon characters…absolutely!

Hey, will this show be kid friendly??

We’re glad you asked. The art displayed at ArtSpace will definitely be kid friendly, but we will also be having an After Party at the Martini Room just down the street. Since the Martini Room is a 21+ venue, we have coordinated with them to put artwork there that is not kid friendly. Tasteful nudity and innuendo is encouraged, but no pornography please.

What about the Art Machine?

We’d love to fill the Art Machine with appropriately ‘toony’ blocks too, so if you have any ideas and need a set of blanks to make it happen, let us know.

We hope we’ve given you enough info to get you inspired. Let your imaginations get ‘Toony!

Submit your work before July 1^st, 2019 to be a part of this wild show.
