Comics Jam and Keith Jones Launch

Wednesday, January 25th is a big night in Montreal, with the launch of Keith Jones' Bacter-Area from D&Q and, at another venue, the regular Monthly Montreal Comics Jam.

Here's the full Press release for the Keith Jones book launch:

D+Q MONTREAL BOOK LAUNCH AT ZOOBIZARRE
BACTER- AREA
BY KEITH JONES

“One of the rare, exquisite treats covering comics as an art form is when something pops up on your screen you’ve never seen before. Such is the case with the work of Vancouver artist Keith Jones, whose BACTER-AREA will help launch Drawn and Quarterly’s art book series upon its release. Jones’ book contains hints of oblique narratives but is mostly concerned with drawing, both tableaus supported by empty space and mind-bending depictions of community life crammed to the gills with animals, strangely shaped people, and decaying urban landscapes.” –THE COMICS REPORTER

“New Montrealer Keith Jones launches a crazy cornucopia of signs and symbols...He's just put out a jewel of a comic.”–HOUR

“Balancing the visual cacophony and chaos of Jones’s images, even the more contained ones, is a thoroughness and precision in his rendering of each element.”–MONTREAL MIRROR

WHO & WHAT: Keith Jones launches B A C T E R -A R E A, with the found sounds of DJ Dumpster

WHERE: MONTREAL, QC: Zoobizarre, 6388 St. Hubert (Metro Beaubien) www.z o o b i za r r e . o rg

WH E N : Wednesday, January 25, 2006, 8:00 PM

ABOUT KEITH JONES & BACT-AREA: Keith Jones once wrote, “People and Birds talk to each other and spend time doing it.” This is as reasonable a description as you’ll get for Keith’s dense, cartoon-y people/animal-scapes. Arms twist and flail and behinds slip to the front. Keith Jones started out drawing ant farms as a small child. Eventually he went on to make pictures of cars and people and aliens with multiple body platforms. Sometimes these drawings are placed in a linear relationship forming a story. Sometimes they are not. Now he makes all these things and more in his room daily. He lives in Canada.
