Just sticking my head back in here to thank everyone for their kind words and support.

Comic-Con is bearing down fast. Faster than I am comfortable with.

Tomorrow will be the first of four appearances that I'll be doing this summer for the local Indigo bookstore branches, as part of their Summer Reading series. Since this is (kind of?) a new thing for them, I'm a little apprehensive that it'll be one of those things where I'll be ( Read more... )

What's been going on with me lately ( Read more... )

I totally forgot to mention that some of my art will be part of the Graphic Language: The Art of the Comic Book exhibition at Bowling Green State University, starting from, well, today! It is the first time ever that any of my original comic pages will be publicly on display ( Read more... )
