Comic Illustrator Daniel McCloskey to design GA/GI Poster

Daniel McCloskey is a comic book hero. Not because he's in one, but because he writes them.

"Several years ago, at barely 21 years of age, McCloskey took a $10,000 inheritance from a woman he never met, bought a house in Upper Lawrenceville and began mapping out his own cultural plan for the city. He painted his house on Carnegie Street sky blue, rendered puffy cartoon clouds on the vinyl siding, and started a visiting writers program from scratch. It wasn't long before he garnered five residents, who paid $73 dollars a month for what McCloskey called a "biggish closet" and a chance to become part of his new collective: Cyberpunk Apocalypse." states the Bloomfield/Garfield Bulletin's March issue in which McCloskey is featured on page 16. McCloskey has changed some of his organization's goals and moved his operation to the North side, but still has strong ties to Pittsburgh's east end. He is working on the sixth installment of his comic series "Free Money". It so happens, the public is begging to see what happens to the comics protagonist Neema and her sidekick, the robot "Money," who fell-- literally-- from the sky in sci-fi version of Pittsburgh in 2046. You'll see MCloskey's work in person at GA/GI! More details to come.
