Start your engines...
That first show of the year is always something special. Having not exhibited since last summer's SDCC, I'm especially anxious to get my fix after going cold turkey for six months.
Not only am I back in NYCC's Artist Alley next month, I'll be armed with the left hook of Jamie Tanner and right jab of Fred Chao. That's right: THREE cartoonists for the price of one! C'mon by and let our comics pulverize you into an unrecognizable shape.

F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
It's strange to see your art on another person's body... especially when it's the person you wake up to every morning.

Happy holidaze, everyone!
We will return to our regularly scheduled programming in the new year... until then, I'll defer to a friend's accomplishment: To commemorate our soon-to-be 44th president, Charly LaGreca has created this labor of love for all you Obama fans:
Apparently being a full time illustrator, performer and writer of musicals, and podcast host interviewing comic luminaries like Alan Moore and Jeff Smith doesn't keep him busy enough.

If you're an illustrator and understand the first three words of that title, then you MUST download this. Coloring VIETNAMERICA's 300 pages just got a whole lot faster.

I'm not a Morning person.
I begin my work day with email. Often images come easier than actual sentences which result in these spontaneous, lightning fast doodles. Horribly drawn and of questionable taste, they kick-start my day with a laugh (my low standards a testament to how groggy I am in the morning). A week of October high/lowlights:

Southeast Asia knows how to party.
In stores Wednesday is cartoonist Sonny Liew's anthology LIQUID CITY. You may recognize him from his Eisner-nom'd and Xeric winning work for DC, SLG, Image, Villard, and :01 but did you know he could also be a whip-cracking editor adeptly guiding a herd of artists towards a communal deadline?
Newsarama interviews Sonny about his editorial debut here, and visit the book's site for all the glorious deets (including ongoing contests for gorgeous original art!). I was suppose to contribute a story but VIETNAMERICA became all consuming, so now my efforts take the form of pimping my friend's brand spankin' new 312 page baby. Congratulations, Sonny!
