One More Time for the Apocalypse with the Artists of Ink Pen Mutations

Maybe you think it's too late for you.

Too late for Van Wyck.

Because when it comes to book release parties,
about the possible end of the world

Maybe it's already over. 

You were there for the Van Wyck book release party, so you remember.

Chris Cobb, Van Wyck author leads a light-hearted story time on the topic of urban mushroom clouds.

Check out Scott Griffin on the right. The original illustrator from the very first Van Wyck. Big Ups!
Or maybe you missed it and need one more chance. Regardless, it was a blast.
So why let it stop there?

Beginning this past Saturday, September 8th at the Hive Gallery, the Ink Pen Mutations room is happy to showcase the artists of its most recent releases, the culminating chapters of the apocalyptic Van Wyck series. If you missed it again, fear not, the End of the World will wait a little longer for you.
