Worcester Art Museum: Ed Emberley Exhibit

The Worcester (MA) Art Museum has a wonderful exhibit titled "KAHBAHBLOOOM: The Art and Storytelling of Ed Emberley" through April 9, 2017. I was fortunate enough to be invited by Hilary Price to join her and some fellow cartoonists and friends to the show this past Saturday afternoon. Afterward, we all went out for lunch with Mr. Emberley.


Just some of Ed Emberley's output:


Mitra Farmand stands next to one of Ed Emberley's huge Paul Bunyan woodcuts.


Mo Willems and Maria Scrivan.





Ed Emberley himself. That Mark Parisi on the left, and John Klossner, in the hat, on the right.


Mock up pages for ED EMBERLEY'S DRAWING BOOK OF ANIMALS.


Hilary Price, in the green sweater, and Ed Emberley, right.


Lunch!


A collage of me and Ed. We got along great as you can see. He's 85 and full of energy.
