\"Dave<\/a><\/h6>\n

Dave Shelton<\/a> is an award-winning cartoonist and writer.\u00a0 He’s also a musician, independent filmmaker, voice actor, and comedian.<\/p>\n

“My brain never turns off,”says Dave<\/a> (pictured here at Mystic Dragon’s Book Festival).\u00a0 And he’s sharing some of the resulting creative work in his book, Brain Explosion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Brain Explosion<\/em> is a collection of Dave’s cartoons (he worked as Head of Cartoons and senior writer at the National Lampoon in the 1990s) and written work–both prose and poetry.\u00a0 His observations range from wry to joyful, taking a down-to-earth look at life in general and the Hollywood\/Los Angeles environment in particular.<\/p>\n

Dave talked about his background, and shared some of the stories and philosophies behind Brain Explosion.\u00a0 He also offered an exciting piece of news.\u00a0 Tonight is a “first” for him: the premiere of his first stage play, in North Hollywood, and you’re invited!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dave’s stage play, “Still a Spark”, will be one of twelve original\u00a0 short plays presented this evening in the “Putting On Your Shorts 4<\/a>”\u00a0 festival, at the Lonny Chapman Theatre, 10900 Burbank Boulevard near Cleon,\u00a0 in North Hollywood.\u00a0 Doors open at 7:30, showtime is at 8:00 and admission is whatever you want to pay.\u00a0 Additional show dates are September 12th, 18th and 19th.<\/h5>\n
