Good news, my hand-printed covers for Journey Into Misery #1 and Tales To Behold #1 were Chosen in the 30th American Illustration competition. While they will be not in the Annual, they will be displayed on their website.
It means a lot that this very personal work that I do simply for my own enjoyment was successful in this prestigious competition. You can see a temporary slideshow of all the Selected and Chosen works here. Thanks very much to the jury!
I did an update of my website, and also changed the start image. I added four pieces to the Editorial Color section and one piece to the Editorial B/w section. The illustrations are for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Observer, Assets and UCLA Magazine. Hope you'll enjoy them!
Sequential Tart, a Web Zine about the comics industry, did an interview about Rabid Rabbit with co-founder Chris Butzer and me.
Thanks very much to Editrix-in-Chief Sheena McNeil! You can read the entire interview here.
Finally, you can get your hands on my new book! It's been sighted in NY stores such as The Word and Powerhouse Arena, and of course you can order it now on IndieBound and Amazon. I'll be doing some events this summer, so stay tuned if you'd like to get a signed copy. Whoo-hoo!
A new illustration for today's Wall Street Journal, about home-based franchises… You can read the entire article here.
Many thanks to Art Directors Orlie Krauss and Sheryl Dermawan for this fun assignment and helping to develop the idea!
Whew, that was quite a wirlwind! The last couple weeks I attended two big comics festivals, MoCCA here in New York, and Stumptown over in Portland, Oregon. This was also my very first trip to the west coast and I really had a great time! I liked Portland a lot, and am very grateful for Co-Rabbit C.M.Butzer for taking me along.
Both at MoCCA and Stumptown we made new friends, talked to a lot of people and sold our books. It's always so nice to get some feedback from people.
Btw, my mini-comics Tales To Behold, Journey Into Misery, Casual Comics and Red Hook are now available at Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn, and at Floating World Comics in Portland. And the Portland Libraries bought 16 minis from me as well! What a comics-friendly town.
I'm very excited that I'm going to the Stumptown Comics Fest this year, it'll be my first time on the West Coast! And of course MoCCA NYC is coming up soon as well… And I'm preparing my latest books, and of course the old ones as well, so I hope I'll see you there!
THE WOODS and CAN I SEE YOUR ID (written by Chris Barton) are not out yet, but I will have some display copies with me! And I'll have a brand-new mini comic, Journey Into Misery #3 ready to go! Plus many of my previous minis, including Tales To Behold and Casual Comics! Also, I should still have some copies of my other children's books, Metal Man and HAT!
And let's not forget Rabid Rabbit #13, which is an awesome flip book collaboration with the Swedish Anthology C'est Bon Kultur. For this occasion, we're having a release party and show of original art at Bergen Comics, Brooklyn, FRIDAY, APRIL 8th. 8-11pm. Hope to see you!
Hooray, this week I got my first two copies of my new book THE WOODS! They turned out beautiful, I'm very happy with the design and how the colors came out.
The book is coming out in May, you can pre-order it now on IndieBound and Amazon.
At this year's MoCCA festival I'll have a display copy, (maybe even some copies for sale) so come check it out! Some images are already on the Children's section of my website and my facebook page
I'm planning to do some events and will keep you posted!
