Inspirations from Mark Murphy ARTalk

Mark Murphy returns to his alma matter, Bowling Green State University, in Ohio for a 3 day mini camp. Indian Summer will be in full swing with the smell of Fall air and the multi-colored leaves that will, no doubt, sprinkle the campus.

Friday, October 2, features the return of Mark Murphy, the product of a small graphic design department held in 3 rooms above the student hospital. Needless to say, a lot has changed after 20 years, and the campus has invested-o-plenty in state of the art design goodness. Mark will be performing a free event, starting at 5pm, at the BGSU Bowen-Thompson Student Union Theatre. For those who wish to instigate lively discussion, prizes will be awarded. (PS it was a miracle to complete all of the homework at this higher learning establishment as the social agenda was stacked, including 4 years of dedicated service to SICSIC).

MORE EVENTS WITH MARK

Thursday, October 1, features the Ohio premiere of Scribble.08, the fine art documentary that is slowly making its way across the nation. The Maumee Indoor Theater will feature the film with a passionate overview and introduction by Scribble’s director, Mark Murphy.

Saturday, October 3, features the last event of this great adventure, “Zine Machine.” “Zine Machine“ is a passionate introduction to the world of self-promotion. If you have something to say, cool visuals you wish to share or in need of spicing up your portfolio, this is the project for you. There will be plenty of “Zine” examples on hand, an interactive workshop and lecture to get you started and push you into artistic stardom. (If you attend you will receive free goodness).

The lecture is free and open to the public. The event is proudly sponsored by the BGSU School of Art, the Division of Graphic Design, AIGA Toledo, and the BGSU AIGA Student Chapter.
