  Dark Poets Show, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Jan 31, 2008 For almost 40 years, Roger Clay Palmer has worked, often reclusively, on poetry, paintings, installations, and primarily, a large body of drawings. Ruthless black humor blends with gentle compassion in a world where animals and objects often mimic and reflect us. Growing up on a ranch in Florida listening to family members tell stories, his work reflects his love of Southern oral tradition.  
  In Dog Light, June June 24, to August 1, 2008 USF Calendar of Events, College of Visual & Performing Arts, Contemporary Art Museum Exhibition by Tampa-based artist Roger Palmer. The exhibition presents a selection of drawings made between 2003 and 2008. Palmer's brush, wash and ink drawings are darkly humorous meditations on humanity's foibles and actualities. Anthropomorphic animals, local flora and fauna and technologies of modern man such as cannons and fire trucks unfold in pure-pigment amalgamations of word and image.
