Ward: Well, first of all, thanks so much for all those nice things you just said about it! And as for the question, uh, I dunno. But a gallery show filled with artwork based on a topic I had virtually no working knowledge of? And it’s a cartoon? Hmmm, not so certain. A science-fiction themed show with artwork based on Brazil, Fantastic Planet, Star Trek 2, and Akira? I’m on board with that immediately, don’t even need to think about it. That show-a big-ass, sci-fi-themed spectacle that proved to be one of the biggest draws in Austin during SXSW’s opening weekend-had been flat-out amazing, and the fanboy in me was curious to see what new stuff might be on display during round two.īut the truth was, I’d never actually gotten around to watching much of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time (not at length, anyway prior to this weekend, I’d only seen one or two episodes, and that was through the bits and pieces I’d glimpsed on YouTube or while flipping through channels). When it was announced that Pendleton Ward’s Adventure Time would be serving as the theme for the second-ever show at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, TX, I found myself in a unique position: as a longtime fan of both Mondo and the stable of artists they tend to work with, I was jazzed that a new show might be arriving so soon after the gallery’s March opening.
