If you are in the San Fran­cisco area tonight, come on down to Five­points Art­house. Visual artist Eric Drooker will project hun­dreds of images and explore his early years as a street artist in New York City. Although he con­tin­ues to cre­ate rad­i­cal street posters, he’ll demon­strate how his images func­tion in other pop­u­lar medi­ums. He’ll trace the evo­lu­tion of his graphic nov­els into ani­ma­tion — as in the recent hit film “Howl” — and dis­cuss his expe­ri­ences cre­at­ing pub­lic art, cov­ers for The New Yorker, and his grad­ual infil­tra­tion of the main­stream. Lec­ture will be accom­pa­nied by the artist on a vari­ety of musi­cal instru­ments. I hope to see you there!

This is a Free Uni­ver­sity Art School event. The Free Uni­ver­sity of San Fran­cisco aims to make the high­est level of edu­ca­tion avail­able, com­pletely free, to any indi­vid­ual who wants it, regard­less of color, creed, age, gen­der, nation­al­ity, reli­gion or immi­gra­tion sta­tus— a uni­ver­sity free of money, taught for free. The only require­ment for mem­ber­ship is a desire to teach and/or a desire to learn.
