Personify & Mackenzie Ryan, are pleased to present, New Works by artist Paul Friedrich, as part of First Friday. The artist will be on hand to speak with visitors about his work which will remain on display through April 1st.
Paul Friedrich, North Carolina's Pop Icon, returns to Raleigh with a pop culture explosion from Raleigh landmarks to Baby Yoda. For five seasons, Paul was the official cartoonist for the Carolina Hurricanes, making Paul the first and only official cartoonist in NHL history.
"There are major milestones in life, but until you write a rock song that becomes a sports anthem, having your animation on a Jumbotron in a packed arena is a life worth living."
Known for masterful use of color, composition and humor, Paul Friedrich is in the forefront of the Low Pop movement. Paul is the co-founder of the SparkCon conference, the South's number one conference on creativity, created Wake County's 86it.com anti-littering campaign mascot, Chuck, and is the author/illustrator of several books including the Eisner Award-nominated graphic novel, Onion Head Monster, Man V Liver, Sleepwalking Batman in Plaid Pajamas and The ABC's of Raleigh.
In 2009, Paul became the NHL's first-ever cartoonist with the launch of Stormy's CUP OF AWESOME comic strip and animation for the Carolina Hurricanes. You can follow Friedrich and his work on IG: PaulFriedrichDotNet; Twitter: @AllPaul; FB: @PaulFriedrich
DJ Triple B will provide a soundtrack based on the artist and his work. Light refreshments will be provided.
