Artist Munshaw Draws Big Crowd to First Friday!

A big thank you to all who joined us on First Friday, November 3rd, 2023, for a very special Meet & Greet with local illustrator Michael Munshaw! We were very happy to meet Michael, his family, and such a fun group of so many comic fans!

A chance encounter at the “Big Duck Weekend” last August connected us with this very talented artist. After seeing Michael’s work and hearing about his artistic adventures, we asked him if he would be available for a special guest appearance at our gallery.

Munshaw was kind enough to not only accept our invitation, but also brought with him a big box of 11x17” prints which he signed and gave away for free!

Michael is an Illustrator/Graphic Designer who has been in the industry for many years. His artwork is wide ranging, always displaying a dynamic energy to each piece.

As an illustrator he has completed sketch work for Star Wars, Marvel, Rick & Morty, Archer, Dynamite Comics, and more!

This event was held at St. Mary’s County Arts Council, 22660 Washington St, Leonardtown, MD 20650.
