Eye Level Gallery

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

Bird Hurdler

Bird Hurdler is out now! It's a free comic put out by my friends at Sparkplug Comics, Tugboat Press, and Teenage Dinosaur. Check out the beautiful cover by Andrice Arp! It features 6 Portland cartoonists, including me. Here's a page spread from the story I did for it, though it's a little hard to tell what's going on from this photo. The book should be in comic shops all over by now, being given away for free, but you can also order one for a penny plus postage from http://www.sparkplugcomics.com/ , but while you're at it, check out all the other fine books available there too! Sparkplug is one of my favorite comics publishers. Dylan Williams (the man behind Sparkplug) always manages to find interesting, unusual cartoonists to publish. A couple of my most recent favorites are, Department of Art by Dunja Jankovic, and The Airy Tales by Olga Volozova.

The Astronomer's Wonderful Instrument

I've got a bunch of stuff coming up, all revolving around the Stumptown Comics Fest, which will be on April 18th and 19th from 10am-6pm at the Lloyd Center Doubletree, here in Portland, Oregon. I'll be selling my work at Table #70 all weekend. I'm also going to talking on a panel from 2:00-@:245 on Saturday the 18th. It's called Art and the Small business, and I'll be talking along side Dylan Williams, publisher of Sparkplug Comics and Jason Leivian, owner of Floating World Comics.
The night before all that (Friday 17th 7-11pm) there will be a comics party at Guapo Comics and Coffee on 6350 SE Foster Road! I've contributed a couple of pieces to the Space themed art show hanging there now (see above picture) The Party will be a book release for 6 or 7 new publications including Bird Hurdler, a free comic that I contributed a 6 page story too. There's also going to be readings from some great cartoonists and beer from Mactarnahan's brewing. It's going to be a fun night!

Bird Hurdler

I just finished a new 6 page comic just in time for its deadline. It's going to be out mid-April in a publication called Bird Hurdler, and will include a number of great cartoonists that I'm really excited about. The publication is free and will be a collaborative publishing project between 3 Portland small presses: Sparkplug Comics, Tugboat press, and Teenage Dinosaur. I'll have more info when it comes out, but for now, the above panel is a sneak peek.
