Our Cartoonist Went to Chelsea and All We Got Were these Brilliant Cartoons

GARAGE is a print and digital universe spanning the worlds of art, fashion, design, and culture. Our launch on VICE.com is coming soon , but until then, we're publishing original stories, essays, videos, and more to give you a taste of what's to come. Every year, we swear we'll stay away; every year we get sucked back in. Attendance at fall's first batch of exhibition openings in Chelsea remains a mandatory annual ritual, an instant and total immersion in the professionalized art world that's equal parts party and purgatory. We sent cartoonist Liana Finck to "Super Thursday" armed with nothing more than a smartphone and her wits. Below, Finck's sketches from the evening.

Liana Finck's cartoons appear regularly in The New Yorker, The Awl, Catapult, and on her Instagram. Her graphic novel, A Bintel Brief, was published by Ecco Press in 2014.
