These are two signs I designed for my publisher when they have tables at comics conventions. I drew them at 1/5 of the actual print size.
Here they are blown up to over 5 feet high and standing up! It'll be cool to actually see them in person at some point. It's by far the largest I've ever had one of my drawing blown up.
There's a nice review of Sleeper Car followed by a review of Capacity over at Optical Sloth: http://www.opticalsloth.com/?p=3506
A big box of my new comic, Sleeper Car, showed up at my door a couple of days ago! It makes me want to buckle down and finish my current illustrations jobs so I can get back tomaking comics as much as possible. Sleeper Car will be making it's way into comic shops now . It's also already available at the Secret Acres website and on Amazon.
Pre-copies of my new comic, Sleeper Car are now available on my publisher's website! :
I've completely finished everything for my 32 page comic, Sleeper Car, and I'm sending off the scans to Secret Acres! It will be coming out Late August! Now I'm finishing up tons of pieces for my upcoming Giant Robot show. The picture above is one of the many tiny pieces that will be hanging on their walls starting July 18th! On another note, I've officially started drawing the first page of my next big book. Though it'll probably be a little while before I can get back to it, it felt pretty amazing to finally be sitting down and laying out a scene that's been inside of my head for years! It's turning out to be a great summer!
I've been at my drawing table a lot! I just finished all the art for the upcoming Ramona Falls album that's coming out sometime in August. Now I'm working to finish and frame all the pieces for my solo art show called "Imaginary Friends" that's opening on July 18th at the Giant Robot Gallery in San Francisco. The above image is from the Ramona Falls album art and the original will be hanging in the show. I'm also getting ready to scan the 32 page comic that Secret Acres will be putting out pretty soon called "Sleeper car". It's been a fun spring!
I'll have some of my pen and ink drawings on display at Eye Level Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. The show opens Friday, June 5th, 8:30-11pm. It includes work by a number of great cartoonists as well as some book releases that I'm REALLY excited about from Secret Acres, Bodega, and Sparkplug. This is another show that is being put on as part of the MoCCA comics festival. You can go to another art show I'm involved in the very next night at Giant Robot too! (See info about that show a couple of posts down.) I really feel like I'm missing out by not making it to all these great events! You can find out more about this show at www.eyelevelgallery.com
I have 3 pieces in the big group show coming up at the Giant Robot Gallery in New York, NY! It's an all cartoonists show to go along with the independent comics festival called MoCCA that's happening the first weekend in June. Some of my favorite comic artists are in the art show, so it's pretty exciting to be a part of it. The contributing artists were each asked to do a 1x1 inch portrait for the show card (mine is in the lower right corner). Folks attending the opening get first dibs on pieces, but the show will be up for sale on-line soon after at http://www.grny.net/ .
It made me really happy to come across this write-up by Mike Baehr on the Fantagraphics blog, not just because Fantagraphics puts out some of the best comics around, but because it's exciting to know that I officially pull off not coming across like a crazy person!
Here are 3 places that you can get Capacity online:
