MIE MORIMOTO PC Acquire: This Takes the Cake For this month's PC Acquire headliner, we tapped Texas talent Fernando Ramirez, whose deft touch with a pen and colored inks was recently showcased in "Flying Solo" at Art League Houston. A 2009 BFA grad of the Kansas City Art Institute, Ramirez percolated on the scene for several years before he was discovered by the Art League's Jennie Ash. Inspired by our bridal issue, the master of the inks created a special take on a modern wedding party with bride and groom, anthropomorphic gifts, a ring character and an architectural cake. The timing is perfect: Ramirez's limitededition volume has just been released: a collection of 21 images informed by cartooning and art historical precedents, published by Blurb, also available through PC Acquire. Original drawings, 9 by 12 inch, from $450; book $195; for the complete collection, peruse papercitymag.com. Inquiries Seth Fernando Ramirez's Vaughan, seth@ Wedding Planning, 2013 papercitymag.com.

Outpost American Tavern, 1115 N. Beckley Ave., 214.946.1308; outpostdallas.com Oak Cliff's latest draw has the instant-classic, warm-yet-chic thing down pat. And it certainly got the draft list, bespoke beverages and bites right. (Exhibit A: The fried pickles are hearty spears, not wimpy slices). We'd even say John Paul Valverde, Miguel Vicens and Luis Gonzalez, who own the new Outpost American Tavern, nailed the atmosphere, transforming the former Campo space into the type of relaxed pub most often found on the Eastern seaboard. Dishes feature locally sourced ingredients and the kitchen makes its pasta in house, but take your cue from Valverde and try the Mexico City-style elotes or PBR fish tacos (that's Pabst Blue Ribbon for those not fluent in hipster). There are gluten-free options, including the aforementioned elotes plus a grilled cheese, French dip, housemade beef stroganoff and more. But for all its culinary charms, the bar is where it's at, especially when it comes to what's on tap. "We wanted a fun combination that Outpost American Tavern includes Texas craft beers like the Saint Arnold Santo, Franconia Wheat and the Real Ale Firemans #4, and at the same time add things like the French Kroneburg 1664 and some hoppy options such as Stone Ruination and Happy Camper IPAs from Santa Fe," explains Valverde. Those wishing to forego the suds can wet their whistles with a Strawberry Pequin Margarita or Salted Plum Vodka Collins. Katy Richardson LEONARDO CENDAMO What drew you to participate in the Dallas Art Fair 2013? In 2011, following the natural disaster Catherine Rose that struck Japan, we had the good fortune of taking a trip to Dallas as one of our artists — the Irish Fergus Feehily — was having an exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art. During this visit, we were treated with unimaginably generous hospitality; we had an opportunity to visit local collections, which were astonishing in terms of breadth and quality. The atmosphere of the city and, in particular, the community associated with the museum encouraged us to return, and the fair offered us a perfect excuse! Friends from galleries such as The Green Gallery, Milwaukee, and Canada from New York also provided positive feedback about the Fair. PAUL WILKES Jeffrey & Misako Rosen BRUNO Take us to the beginning. What's the story behind the start of Misako & Rosen? Where and when did you and Misako meet? We met for the first time in Tokyo in 2002. We'd both been working for Japanese galleries for 10 years prior to opening our own space at the end of 2006. I'd first worked for the Los Angeles branch of Taka Ishii Gallery before moving to Japan, and Misako had been working for Tomio Koyama Gallery since she was 19 years old. We were both involved in the growth and development of the first generation of Tokyo contemporary galleries. Though we were helping to facilitate an original vision particular to that generation, we felt that there was a need and that the time was right to represent our own generation in Japan. [ COLLECTOR'S CONVERSATION wearing hats. One of them offered to buy my Hermès belt off of me, since there now seems to be a wait list for the classic style. Thank the Lord I bought gold and silver versions back when the economy collapsed in 2008! When chatting with the verbose New Orleans crew we encountered, we were asked for a few words that described ourselves. My response: "Sprawling, ambitious and amazingly accomplished." Best way to exit a conversation and make for the perfect road-trip ending. Billy Fong, billy@papercitymag.com Clockwise: Paul Muldoon, Elizabeth Strout, Joseph J. Ellis, Art Spiegelman
