Comic Book Art with Ken Kutz at the Frederic Art Center

[Frederic] Who are your favorite comic book heroes? Did you grow up watching TV episodes of Superman and Batman? Are you a fan of comic book art? Join us for an evening with Ken Kutz, former district attorney and circuit court judge, who also happens to be an artist of comic book cover posters. The gallery show will be held June 5-6, at the Frederic Art Center, at 310 Lake Avenue South. Visitors will be able to meet Ken at the June 5 Friday evening reception from 5-8 p.m., when he will provide a fascinating look into the process of creating comic book style art and also exhibit a variety of his own work. The gallery show will also continue on Saturday, June 6, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ken became interested in comics at age 13 when he bought part of a collection from an acquaintance. He continued to collect them, focusing on Marvel publications, and discovered early on that he liked some comics more than others because of their artwork. By the time he was 15, he was dabbling with replicating the work of favorite artists and inkers. His continued interest in comic book art was deferred as he graduated from college and began a career in law, serving 25 years as the Burnett County District Attorney, and eight years as the Burnett County Circuit Court Judge before retirement.

In 2000, Ken began to focus again on doing posters of comic book covers, and he credits mentors who helped him expand his knowledge and expertise. To date, Ken has created dozens of comic book cover posters, and some of his work is currently on display at the Grantsburg Public Library.

Frederic Arts is dedicated to showcasing area musicians, artists, and collectors, and we welcome new talents – contact us! We appreciate your donations as we continue to make Art Center improvements to provide a fully accessible community space for concerts, art events, and classes.
