Travis will be on hand to sign books. Books will be on sale for $30 The work of artist/writer Travis Millard (aka Fudge) has graced unguarded cityscapes, the walls of galleries worldwide, the pages of numerous magazines and journals, sneakers and skateboards and snowboards, even the sides of his own automobile. Hey Fudge is the first solo book featuring his art and comics, including many pieces previously only published by hand in small batches at the artist’Äôs studio. Presented within are dreamscapes populated by odd and amusing characters, biting caricatures of neo-conservatives, and a thirty page opus entitled ’ÄúMichael Jackson in Exile,’Äù starring a timid-looking pop star cast out of society and into the threatening jungles of Borneo. Printed in an unusual wide format with stitched binding and full-color, linen-embossed ’Äúflexi’Äù cover, and designed by Fudge himself. I highly recommend Travis Millard's Fudge Factory drawings and comics. Beautiful chunky drawings and funny stories. His work is better than mine which is why I recommend you avoid him and buy my books instead." Tony Millionaire - Maakies Comics "This guy can fucking draw."
