New exhibit showcases collection from New Yorker cartoonist Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell

Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell, a cartoonist for The New Yorker since 2016, is having her first NYC exhibit, opening Thursday night at ArtsClub on Third Street. 

The show also serves as the launch party for her new book, "What Did I Do Today?

Some details via the EVG inbox: 
The show: Spanning 10 years of cartooning, Today showcases a collection from New Yorker cartoonist Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell about the little things. From small talk to mundane thoughts, Campbell's cartoons, paintings and more focus on finding hilarity in everyday life. 

The book: This illustrated six-month journal helps you find joy, curiosity and your screaming inner voice, with prompts for things you've done, seen, felt and heard each day. Instead of being focused on productivity, the journal is like a retroactive to-do list, inviting you to be naturally creative by writing down the sometimes mundane, sometimes silly, but always interesting parts of your day-to-day life.
In addition, she'll be teaching two workshops at ArtsClub on Jan. 20 and 28. The pitch: "Not only will students learn the basics of cartooning, they'll also be given the tools to find humor and inspiration in your day to day-to-day life and build a routine to discover your creative side."

ArtsClub is at 311 E. Third St. between Avenue C and Avenue D. The opening-night reception is 6-8 on Thursday.
