Wages of Fear Commission

I recently finished this commission based on Clouzot's The Wages of Fear. It was a lot of fun revisiting the movie.

Sea Cave / Zine Fest

I'll have this new 11x14 print debuting at the L.A. Zine Fest tomorrow! The fest goes from 11-5 above the Last Bookstore at 453 S. Spring Street. Stop by table 70 to check it (and all my other junk) out.

For those not in the L.A. area, the print is available on my Etsy store.

Comics Reading!

I'll be participating in the L.A. Zinefest Reading on Saturday. It gets started at 9pm. Also, the next day I'll have a table at L.A. Zinefest. I'll have some rare/new treats to peddle to the public. Of course, many great cartoonists and zinesters (are they called that?) will be reading and tabling at both events. Check out that lineup!

Expansion Part Four! Turner's loose!

Ritual #1

So that "Sneak Peak" I posted a few days ago was from the first issue of Ritual, my new comic being published by Revival House Press. Each issue will be a stand alone story, the first of which is called Real Life, and is a horror story of sorts. It's set in the present day, in a kind of average town, which is new for me.

...And don't worry, I know I've been talking about a lot of new projects recently, (and there are still some more to come soon) but Expansion Part 4 is still happening and on its way. I'll post up some images in the coming week.

Sneak Peak

From a new 30(ish) page comic I'm working on.

Study Group Magazine

I've got a comic in Study Group Magazine! The story connects obliquely to one of my Mome contributions, and not so obliquely to my short comic "Top Five". But more importantly, this anthology features comics by Trevor Alixopluos, Chris Cilla, Michael DeForge, David King, Aidan Kock, Jonny Negron, Jennifer Parks, Zack Soto, and Daria Tessler, plus an interview with Craig Thompson, a profile of Brecht Evans, and covers by Eleanor Davis!

If you live in New York you should absolutely go to the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest this Saturday and pick up a copy. I really wish I could go, but I'm stuck out here on the west coast.

UPDATE: Study Group Magazine #1 is now available online for only $12! Click here to have a look.

Inking Exercise

Sometimes when I have ideas to sift through I do exercises that end up taking too much time. I've been wanting to try inking over a contemporary superhero comics page, so last night I gave it a shot. The penciled page is by Paolo Rivera from Daredevil #1. Daredevil has been a fantastic example of what a superhero comic should be, and a lot of that is because of Rivera's art. As for my inking attempt, I think I did... okay. It was fun though!

Nobrow 6

I've got a short comic in Nobrow 6: The Double, which is out now. There are a ton of great artists in this thing, including Tom Gauld, Kevin Heuizenga, and Michael DeForge. For details and to order from Nobrow, click here.

Spock

Instead of working on the page I was supposed to be drawing, I painted a portrait of Spock.

Top Five / Sweet Dreams Available!

My double sided comic, Top Five / Sweet Dreams is now available through this site and on Etsy. Pick it up! Speaking of Etsy, I've added tons of new stuff to the Etsy store, like this original drawing I did for the Covered blog a while ago:

There's some new prints, original pages, paintings, and the cover to Expansion 3, among other great items. Check it out!

Expansion #3 Available!

The penultimate issue of Expansion is finished and ready for purchase! Details are on the sidebar of this very site. If you'd like to see some more pictures like the one above, click here.

APE 2011!

Everybody! I'm going to be at the Alternative Press Expo this weekend, sharing a half table with Matt Sheean. We'll be at table 254A, with the brand new penultimate issue of Expansion! I'll also have some new prints, aside from my usual comic offerings. In addition to that, I'll be signing Mome 22's over at the Fantagraphics table: 12-1pm on both days. Seeya there!
