Local artist Tim Root will showcase some of his diverse works over two days in April at tiny ATH gallery. Root describes himself as a comic artist, which he certainly is. With what seems like a few strokes of his pen and some watercolor, he can create scenes of astounding expressiveness. Calling him only a comic artist, however, would overlook the wonderful work he does in other media, like puppetry, woodworking and salvaged materials. If you’re looking for zines, mini-comics, grotesque wooden puppets with their faces peeling off, and even homemade music boxes and decks of cards, look no further than Tim Root’s work. The gallery will be open during a reception on Apr. 7 from 5–8 p.m. and for Third Thursday on Apr. 13 from 6–9 p.m.
