An exhibition of Studio Associate Professor Paul Pettigrew’s collection of original comic book art and watercolor paintings will be on display at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts through January 10, 2015.  The center is located at 101 W. Second Street in Michigan City, Ind., and is open weekdays from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Inspired by Pettigrew’s dual obsession with architecture and comic books, the exhibition features approximately 40 pieces of comic book art and three of his own watercolors.

An exhibition catalog compiled by Pettigrew is available by clicking here. It briefly discusses what he sees as the relationship between architecture and comic books. The catalog also includes Pettigrew’s experience at IIT.
