Tara McPherson brought down the house July 6, at the New York Kid Robot location. Hundreds of rabid fans turned the store into a madhouse, tackling employees for the signed/limited prints adorning the walls. People were calling out any piece of work. If it was sold, they just grabbed the one next to it. Everything from original comic art to vintage Tara concert posters were up for grabs at prices ranging from $25 to $500 and up for original art. The highlight of the collection was a masterfully rendered 20″ Dunny that welcomed fans into the store.
The artist spent the evening signing autographs, doodling on showcards and taking requests for sketches. Did we mention she was the hottest artist to sign at Kid Robot NY to date. To top it off, she announced that she will have a retrospective book coming out from Dark Horse comics in the near future. Can’t wait.
