Kartoon Kocktail is an annual screening of independent animation and comics performance, set to coincide with the Alternative Press Expo. This shimmery, silly two hours of cartoon fun is organized by Stefan Gruber, Davey Oil, Fausto Caceres and Jesse Reklaw.
Featured works include work by Tatiana Gill, Tyler Gillies, Stefan Gruber, Davey Oil, Helen Parson, Kazimir Strzepek and Toddbott.
The animation will be preceded by Slide Rule, Seattle's cartoonist slide show performance group. Using laptop computers and board-room presentation software they lift comics off the printed page and spin them into live sound and digital light for their sometimes high-minded, sometimes low-brow performances.
The event will run from 6:30-8:30 pm at the El Rio, 3158 Mission St. There is a $3 suggested donation. A happy hour will begin at 5:00 pm.
