There were two signings today at the EyeForSound gallery for Singularity, a multi-media project, and at the Golden Apple Store was Defiant: The Story of Robert Smalls #1. The Singularity signing had composer, Bear McCreary, and Serj Tankian from System of a Down. The entrance of EyeForSound features the Kavat Cafe with coffee drinks. On the walls was the exhibition, I Got Pictures On My Wall by Greg Watermann, which prints of System of a Down band members from Ozzfest in San Diego, the world tour in Moscow, and the Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas. These large prints are for sale.
Some of the merch sold was the book by Serj Tankian, Down with the System, System of a Down t-shirts and CDs, and the Bear McCreary project, Singularity. Information about the EyeForSound gallery is at: https://www.eyeforsound.com/ The Singularity merch had a vinyl record, graphic novel, and CD. The original rock concept album feaures Slash, Tankian, Rufus Wainwright, and many more collaborators. There is also a concert experience. Singularity is a bold endeavor by Bear McCreary and Mat Groom. It is about Blue Eyes, who moves from life to life in different forms.
He finds a mysterious, golden woman who appears in brief lives. Surreal with touches of Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land (1961). The gallery features an outdoor patio area with comfortable chairs and tables. The signing was limited with groups at different times. McCreary and Tankian who were first rate gentlemen and took photos with everyone. The album and graphic novel are available now. Details about the Singularity can be found at: https://bearmccreary.com/thesingularity/ I had mentioned the Defiant: The Story of Robert Smalls #1 at the Stranger Comics booth at L.A. Comic Con on October 5th.
The first issue hit comic stores on November 13th. The second issue has a release date of December 4th so remember to put it on your pull list! It was interesting to go to Golden Apple since they always have copies from their previous signings. I also saw an actor for a popular sitcom at the signing. There were variant covers available at L.A. Comic Con. Today there was the regular cover by Caanan White and also a textless cover. Stranger Comics offered many trades of the Asunda titles from The Untamed to Tales of Asunda.
Attending the signing was writer, Rob Edwards, artist Darrell May, Stranger Comics president, Sebastian A. Jones, and also executive producer Marvin Jones III. I was kinda surprised to see Jones III known as a rapper, he also played Tobias Whale on the Black Lightning show, and voiced Tombstone in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)! Golden Apple has a 45th anniversary celebration next Saturday, November 23rd, with signings, food, and more!
