ART CRAWL NOVEMBER 2013

This November's Art Crawl was a huge success for our NuDeal team.

Students worked tirelessly to get their products in saleable condition before the crowds arrived at Centre 3.  

The NuDeal table display of student wares.

Cody, Jazz, Savvy, Terry, Jesse and Maddi were an awesome sales team.

Patrons of the arts were impressed by the quality and creative concepts behind Nu Dealers' products.

Our top seller of the night was Savvy's Bad Bitch brand of t-shirts, tote bags, and posters.  Patrons were impressed by the layered meanings produced by the image of Mother Theresa in contrast with the street slang compliment.  Bad Bitch is street slang for a woman who is formidable or awe-inspiring.

Randy and Malcolm decided to branch out on their own and set up a booth of wares in an abandoned store front on James St. North.  Sales were adequate, despite the cold.

Jesse, with proceeds from the sale of his In $$$ We Trust t-shirts.

Maddi and Victoria celebrate the success of the evening.  (Victoria worked tirelessly from 9 am to midnight - what would we do without our leader?)

Proof that there's hope for nerdy English teachers everywhere: Savvy decrees that Michelle is worthy of the Bad Bitch brand.

Nu-Dealers have started putting artist profiles together! Check out Randy's profile on Darick Robertson:

Artist's Profile: Darick Robertson

Darick Robertson is a comic book artist who has done art work for:

-Transmetropolitian

-Wolverine 

-Punisher: Born

-The Boys

Below are Darick's designs of Nightcrawler for the X-men series, for which he was the featured artist for 12 issues.

Darick is also one of the creators for Transmetropolitan, for which he did all of the artwork.

The main character in Transmetropolitan, Spider Jerusalem, (above) is a retired writer who was isolated in the mountains for 5 years away from city life. He then went back to finish his column for Driven Press. When Spider got back to the city, it was pretty much a wasteland of drug addicts, violence and prostitutes.  He spends his time trying to find the truth behind the lies of politicians.

Spider uses drugs to write his columns; he beats the shit out of people to get a scoop about his columns, he's both pissed at society and messed on drugs which doesn't help any.

i like transmetropolitian because i feel i can relate to spider. he's messed on drugs and hates everything. I'm clean now, but still hate everything.

Transmetropolitian consists of many comics of the series in one issue.



at one point this dog tries to kill Spider Jerusalem…

but the bulldog fails terribly 

I really enjoy this comic book. the story is amazing and the art work is spot on.  a picture says a thousand words. you don't even need to read the writing to know whats going on. you know exactly whats going on by just skimming through. darick robertson is an excellent artist. I would suggest for any reader to read these comics. p.s they are hard to get your hands on.
