R.R. ANDERSON IS ON THE OFFENSIVE >>>
I don't get out much. My duty to the Volcano keeps me locked behind the keyboard for very long hours.
Weekly Volcano man about town, publisher, and far-better-multi-tasker-than-me, Ron Swarner, on the other hand, juggles it all with style and grace - fulfilling his duties to this fine rag while still managing to make it out to events around town ...
Like Monday's Shift Happens event at the Tacoma Convention and Trade Center, for example.
While there, Swarner ran into one R.R. Anderson, local gadfly, artist, and creator of the brilliant Tacomic series.
No stranger to the Volcano or ruffling feathers, Anderson shared with Swarner news of a forthcoming artistic endeavor - a guerilla poster project with Tacoma's well-known Beautiful Angle in its proverbial sights.
Stuck behind my keyboard (naturally), I emailed Anderson to get the specifics.
"For too long the dynamic art duo known as 'Beautiful Angle' has dominated the letterpress art poster scene in this city... bi-monthly nocturnal routes to shove ‘ART' down the peoples throats," writes Anderson. "Well, their monopoly will soon be at an end. Using advanced electronic or digital letterpress technology I can produce more beautiful posters more quickly for way cheaper and stuff. As soon as I figure out how to make wheat-paste (either Googling it or asking my craft-expert wife) - this town will be a two-art-poster town!"
By the sound of it, Tacoma can look for Anderson's posters to debut soon.
Here's a peak at what the first may or may not look like:

I think this is so sweet, Ryan! We'll have such fun together! Oh! I know! Maybe we can carpool!

Hey Tom, when is the next time you're going out?

Ryan, are you asking me to go out? Actually, we just went out two nights ago. Not "we" in the "you and me sense." The other we.
