Events We Love :: Poster Boy The War of Art Launch

The time has come. Poster Boy‘s The War of Art will launch in NY, LA, London & Miami tomorrow with simultaneous signings, screenings and overall celebrations. The release of this book will also officially kick off K.A.R.A.T.E., (Kids Are Rallying Against The Empire), a a grass roots effort  that will eventually turn into a non-profit organization serving as a legal defense fund for artists.

Even at its infancy K.A.R.A.T.E. has managed to get Henry Matyjewicz, a Poster Boy participant, out of prison on appeal only two weeks after being sentenced to 11months by a superior court in New York. Mr. Matyjewicz is now being represented by world class civil rights lawyer, Ron Kuby. Because of K.A.R.A.T.E. Mr. Matyjewicz now stands a fighting chance in court.

Please join us tomorrow for a good cause, some great films, prints, signed books & tunes. Help us celebrate our ever dwindling first amendment rights!
