There was an article in Boston Magazine that ran last year about a club in Cambridge, Mass called Faces. Faces was ‘the club’ to go to in the 70’s in Cambridge.  Boston Magazine commissioned Maurice to do an illustration to merge with a photo, photo by Bob O’Connor.  Click on photo/illustration to link to the original Boston Magazine story.
A guy by the name of Will is very thankful for Faces because it’s where his mom and dad first met. They fell in love, got married, had him and are still together today. Will saw the artwork in the magazine and contacted us to commission a print be made for his parents as a Xmas gift.

OOH LA LA The World of Gloria Badcock.
BOOKS & PRINT: Illustrator Maurice Vellekoop returns to comics
Paris during the French Revolution is just one stop on a wild ride from the pen of Toronto illustrator Maurice Vellekoop, who launches The World of Gloria Badcock this month.

Published by Koyama Press, it’s the first comic in more than 10 years from Vellekoop. The launch, presented by The Beguiling book shop, is hosted by another heroine with well-drawn curves, Sasha Van Bon Bon. 7pm-11pm. Tue, Nov 29. Buddies in Bad Times. 12 Alexander St. koyamapress.com.
Vellekoop also has works in the LGBT Youth Line and Buddies in Bad Times Theatre auctions this month (Thu, Nov 3 and 10, respectively).
