It’s a Horror Show 3: The Break-Up live on Kickstarter APRIL 16th
It’s a Horror Show 3: The Break-Up, is the next installment in an ongoing series of books created by Jade Lowder. This issue introduces readers to a woman who recently enters a relationship and soon discovers this romance isn’t what she thought. The partner in question has strange habits, digging holes in the middle of the night, collecting ornate knives and meetings with friends in robes in their basement. One night our heroine is awoken by robe clad cultists who drag her from her nice warm bed out to where her Boyfriend has dug a grave. She is hurled into the grave and … well I can’t give away anymore than that, let’s just ask the question: What would happen if she got out? What kind of blood soaked revenge would she embark on? All good questions and there is only one way to find out. From Lesser Known Comics comes It’s a Horror Show 3: The Break-Up. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jadelowder/its-a-horror-show-3-the-break-up?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=It%E2%80%99s%20a%20horror%20show

Seance No. 3, Frontier Space Exhibition
Seance No. 3 is part online, part in person solo exhibition with the Frontier Space. Frontier Space, a gallery located in Missoula, MT which is partnered with the University of Montana, exhibited my work as part of their 2020 lineup. The work I displayed in the show centers around an experimental piece of art that I created during quarantine. The work, in the fashion of Sol Lewitt, is an instructional piece that asks viewers to create a wall drawing and perform a collective meditation. The other half of the work displayed is of my paintings and sculptural pieces as installed in the Helen E. Copeland gallery in Bozeman, MT and displayed virtually on the Frontier Space website.
