figuring things out

Mystery Mark, Book 1

I signed a huge stack of Mystery Mark, book one with little drawings of skeleton spies for our awesome Kickstarter supporters. I saw skeletons every time I closed my eyes for over an hour afterwards.

Baltic Comics Magazine, S! #18

I made a 12 page comic for the upcoming issue of the Baltic Comics Magazine, S! I'm super thrilled to be included in this book. S! is one of my all time favorite publications and I've had a subscription for quite awhile now. Every issue has contributions from all over the world and they're always inventive and full of surprises. Check out more about this issue HERE.

Other Worlds, now available!

I drew a 10 page comic for the Other Worlds anthology published by my excellent friends over at Gridlords. So many cartoonists I love and admire have contributions in here. It's one of those books that's particularly special to me. I'm excited that it's finally available at the Gridlords new WEBSHOP!

Photographic records of living cartoons

Jonathan Qualben did an amazing job photographing everything from the Mystery Mark production after our Saturday night performance. You can see it all HERE!

Best American Comics 2014

Skeleton Crew spy glasses

I made these paper cut out glasses for the audience to wear while watching the Mystery Mark theatrical production. It was amazing to see a whole room of people with Skeleton spy glasses.

Photos from Mystery Mark

The theatrical production of Mystery Mark was put on by Viscosity Theater at the Fringe Festival this past weekend in Missoula, MT. It felt like a huge success! It was so surreal to see the group efforts of these excellent, talented friends come together. This is hopefully just the beginning of some very big ideas we hope to make happen. Stay tuned!

Shirts!

We just got these Mystery Mark Shirts made just in time for the show tonight. Huge thanks to our friends over at Garage Ts.

Hugh Bickley animation

Awesome local Missoula animator made an amazing short film that's going to be shown on a loop at the Mystery Mark theatrical installation at the Fringe Festival. I finally got to preview it and it turned out amazing. It's so incredible to be part of such a multi-facited project with so many talented people.

Live theatrical Installation!

It's debuting tonight as part of the Fringe Festival in Missoula, Montana. It's going to be crazy!

Bonus Kid

I thought I was done with the first issue of a new comic called Gnome Activity, but now I'm adding more pages. WHo knows when it will actually come out, but I've been having so much fun with it. Here's a tiny Bonus Kid from one of the pages.

Skeleton Farm

Just finished album art for the Tulsa, Oklahoma band, Skeleton Farm. It was fun going into full on ghost skeleton mode for this. It's going to be an extra nice gatefold vinyl release. Can't wait to get my copy in the mail.

M?M?

All of the drawing for the Mystery Mark illustrated novella are complete and it's off at the printers! The costume pieces for the play version are coming along great. I'm totally floored by the work Scott Morris has done with the amazing crew of talented friends he's been art directing. I feel lucky I get to take part in a project like this.

You have to call it up from the ground.

Setting up my new studio space, I found this drawing I'd forgotten about. I'll probably have to use it for something.

expert spy tools

I'm really close to finalizing all of the art for the book version of Mystery Mark. Then off to the printers!

Smoke Signal

I made two pages of dense, goofy comics for Smoke Signal #19. It's a free comics newspaper published by Desert Island in Brooklyn, NewYork and has contributions by some really great cartoonists.

a physical object in reality

last night, Josh and I went over the test copy of Mystery Mark while the Papier Mache props, masks and puppets were being built all around us. It was a good night. The book itself is so close to being ready to print. So excited!

So happy to get my advance copy of The Understanding Monster, book two in the mail. This one took me so long that it's pretty surreal to see it in book form. It'll be in bookstores this Fall!!
