ROC the House

Here’s the first page of my three-page story for Shelter.

Home

Here’s the first page of “Home”, a story from the new Trees & Hills anthology Shelter. The following four pages show the house’s life after foreclosure. “Home” was written by Trees & Hills co-founder Daniel Barlow; when the original artist wasn’t able to finish the piece, I volunteered (insanely, given everything else I had to do) to draw a quick version at the last minute. I’ll post ordering info and a page from my own story soon.

Pulled into the public eye

Wow, I’ve been so out of it that not only have I hardly drawn anything, but I forgot to post last month’s Spinning World (and even weirder, I uncharacteristically lettered it in all caps and didn’t notice ’til afterward)! It’s up now, posted under the date it would have been.

As much as I may still(!) need time to hibernate, spring has sprung, and I can hide no more. I have a piece in the new Always Comix vol. 5: Evil. It’s an evil little book for the evil little price of $7, and you can learn more and get it here, and see a page of my comic here.

The Keene Sentinel recently interviewed me (and others) for a nice article about the Trees & Hills Comics Group (there’s even a photo – look out!). EDIT: Arg, it’s behind a subscription wall now! I’ll see if i can get a copy to post.

This coming weekend I will be staffing the Trees & Hills table at the Maine Comics Arts Festival in Portland, ME, which is clearly going to be an excellent show (organized by the fine folks at Casablanca Comics). I will, sadly, not be joining my T&H comrades at MoCCA in NYC the first weekend in June this year, but I do hope to have a new minicomic out by then.

Harvest Tour Reports

Over at Trees & Hills, Daniel Barlow describes our excellent trip to the Boston Zine Fair (and includes photos!), and I report on the Winchester Pickle Festival (with a sketch because I don’t use a camera). I’ll post about my trip to the Philly Zine Fest soon, and post more Doodles (I’m behind in my scanning).

Purchase SEEDS online!

I am making a slight change to the way I update this site. For a while now, I have been posting comics and/or news on Mondays, and installments of 99 Doodles on Thursdays. This worked pretty nicely, but I now hope to take the slightly harder path of posting comics every Monday, and news or Doodles on Thursdays, to give the comics the priority they deserve – starting next week. Today we have news!

At long last, Seeds is in stock at Trees & Hills Comics Distro! Themed around FOOD with an emphasis on its social aspects, the latest Trees & Hills anthology comes with a booklet of cartoonists’ favorite recipes and a packet of organic lettuce seeds from High Mowing Farm in Vermont, all wrapped in an earthy brown cover with a red apple print (an organic heirloom apple from a local farmer’s market, of course). I co-edited, contributed a 4-page comic (sample here), and wrote the afterword. We’re especially proud of this one, and it has been selling like hotcakes (appropriately enough). We are pretty sure the initial printing will be sold out by year’s end (!), so get your copy while the getting is good! Makes an excellent gift.

Trees & Hills flyer

Here’s a quick flyer I made for Trees & Hills. When we get some more stuff worked out, I’ll draw up a little ‘Intro to T&H’ mini. Sorry for the crummy scan, but I just finally got the hang of scanning black & white properly, never mind color.

Fall Harvest Tour continues

Wow, I’ve been busy. This past weekend’s Boston Zine Fair was excellent. This coming Saturday 9/27, I’ll be tabling for Trees & Hills at the Winchester Pickle Festival, and maybe doing pickle-themed caricatures or something.

Sunday 10/5 I’ll be tabling at the Philly Zine Fest in a place called the Rotunda.

Apple Rant (preview)

Here is the first of four pages I contributed to Trees & Hills‘ forthcoming food-themed anthology, Seeds.

Later I shout less, there is a big fire, and we learn a little about the wonders of industrial agriculture. Seeds debuts September 20 at the Boston Zine Fair, and is not only full of cool comics, but also comes with a recipe booklet and actual organic vegetable seeds for planting!
