i got a piece accepted by the covered blog, one of the coolest comics projects on the internet in which artists of all kinds do renditions of comics covers.
this was a lot of fun and everyone should try it! i think ill do another one sometime soon…

Hi friends!
A couple of bits of news:
The Portrait Project will not be reaching its goal so everyone who bid will be getting their money back. The good news is that the Portrait Project is now an Etsy shop, and you can get the same exact deal by clicking right here. Many thanks so everyone who supported this project and I hope to see you on Etsy! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions/concerns.
The other big news is that the To Teach tour starts next week! Come see Bill and I at the following dates and places:
Tuesday, 5/18: University Press books, 2439 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA. 6 PM.
Wednesday, 5/19: Modern Times, 888 Valencia st. San Francisco, CA. 7 PM.
Friday, 5/21: The Green Arcade, 1680 Market st. San Francisco, CA 7 PM.
Sunday, 5/23: Floating World Comics, 20 NW 5th ave. Portland, OR 6 PM.
We got to make a cool poster for the Floating world signing:
There should be free copies of the poster at the signing. We’ll also be premiering the Dave’s Killer Bread Coloring and Activity Book, which I think came out really great!
Hope to see you there! Stay tuned for more tour dates, already in the works!
an old friend of mine asked me to draw the hulk for her 10 year old kid. how could i say no???
at long last, ohyesverynice.com has been updated! a million thanks to the lovely and talented devin chalmers for making it happen (and working for drawings!).
also, today is the official release date for To Teach! it should be appearing in stores over the next few weeks, starting today, and can be purchased online here and here.
and finally, please contibute to my kickstarter portrait project! it’s a very inexpensive portrait commission project in which i will draw whatever you want! if it doesn’t reach its goal in the next few weeks i don’t get anything! please help by spreading the word on facebook and twitter and any other outlets you have access to!
thanks, friends! hope you like all this new stuff, and stay tuned for lots more neat stuff in the near future!
i’m doing a large-scale portrait commission project on kickstarter.com. you can check it out by clicking on this sentence. please support me!
i haven’t done a sketchbook post in a long time because i havent been drawing in my sketchbook.
i’m trying to get better about that.
most of these are unrelated.
i hope i find a new project soon.
thanks for the mocca fest, everybody! we did better than expected and i got to meet a lot of nice teachers! maybe next year i won’t be having a big anxiety attack the whole time. when i got home i felt tired and overwhelmed but for some reason i couldn’t go to sleep before drawing one of the celestials.
maybe it’s a metaphor or something, or maybe i just like old crappy comics. the biggest score for me at the show was finding that issue of x-factor that mazzucchelli drew for only 3 bucks! what a deal!
This weekend is the Mocca Fest! It will be the first time ever that To Teach can be purchased! I will be there all weekend and Bill Ayers will be there on Sunday! He is sad about how I am getting all of the attention for this book, so please be kind and say hello to him. We will sign your books!
I got a few copies in the mail this week and the cover is all shiny and enticing! I’m really happy with how this book came out.
