Next Tuesday, June 27th, 2006, LVHRD invites Paul Pope and Mark DeNardo to participate in the launch the organization’s newest event format: The Bi-Fold Series. The Bi-Fold Series will showcase two diverse artists and thinkers on the same stage in a way that highlights their creative difference while reinforcing the continuity and commonality between each individual’s body of work. LVHRD Founder and Director, Beauregard H. Montgomery, describes the new direction as “yet another opportunity for LVHRD to demonstrate the common channels already in existence between some of today’s most creative individuals.”

At LVHRD’s next event, acclaimed artist Paul Pope will present his genre-breaking work to a small audience, followed by a music performance by 8-bit musician Mark DeNardo. Not only do both artists approach their work from a similar “analog” perspective (Mr. Pope still draws with pen and ink and Mr. DeNardo’s compositions are arranged primarily on a Game Boy), but DeNardo also garners a lot of inspiration from Pope’s storytelling and illustration.

Pope just finished Batman Year 100, is directing the animation for an unnamed feature film, and was just commissioned to produce fashion works for Diesel. He was also recently recognized for his work by WIRED Magazine. Mark was just featured on the CoolHunting.com 8-Bit video series. He will be debuting several songs written expressly for Tuesday’s match up.

Tickets for the event are $11 for LVHRD members and $22 for non-members. For additional information, please visit LVHRD.com.
