Frida Clements: Have a Little Pun
Illustrator and designer Frida Clements has one of the most distinct aesthetics of any Seattle artist. Drawing from nature and a Scandinavian sensibility, she creates lush, childlike worlds of Northwest beauty,  most notably in the form of exquisite silk-screened posters for local indie rock shows. In her new book Have a Little Pun, she marries her love of drawing critters with an affinity for simple, humorous wordplay from a bear that is “Maul About That” to an adorable rodent suggesting you “Gopher It” (we’re quite partial to “For Fox Sake”). It’s a delightfully silly work of art to leaf through. Third Place Books (Ravenna), Free

Lino Tagliapietra
Hailing from the glass-making paradise that is the Venetian isle of Murano, Lino Tagliapietra was a prodigy who began apprenticing at the age of 12. With a painter’s flair for loud colors and a masterful sense for creatively shaping blown glass, he quickly became a master in the field. Tagliapietra returns to the site of his first gallery show to display a collection of new works. Traver Gallery, Free

Jimmy O. Yang
While hilarious, Jimmy O. Yang doesn't get many (coherent) lines as Erlich's hapless comedic foil tenant Jian Yang on HBO's Silicon Valley. That changes when he hits the stage. The self-described "funny Asian dude" won't shy away from his cultural heritage when he heads to Comedy Underground for a weekend of standup gigs. Comedy Underground, $15–$55
