San Francisco, CA -- Watch drawings come to life, and learn how to create your own, as Joe Wos presents his original blend of storytelling and live cartoon illustration, an unforgettable and entertaining experience that children and adults of all ages will enjoy. Wos will perform his stories at the Cartoon Art Museum on Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 12:30 followed by a signing of copies of his cartoon mazes, which are available in the Cartoon Art Museum bookstore. Performance is included with the cost of admission.
Wos will also be leading workshops at the Charles M. Schulz Museum as part of his travels. Please visit www.schulzmuseum.org [1] for details.
With prods from the audience, children and adults alike, Wos weaves both original tales and re-tells the classics. The stories, a combination of performance, literary and visual art, are renditions of folk tales and fairy tales with a twist.
“I never know what’s going to spawn an idea for a story,” says Wos. Joe Wos is the current Executive Director of Toonseum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and has been telling stories while drawing them since 1991. Wos has performed across the United States, including New York, St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans and now is returning to San Francisco, with further stops including the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa.
