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…

bill and i are giving a talk at the museum of comic and cartoon art in manhattan.  what an honor!  Thursday, June 17, 7 PM.  594 Broadway, Suite 401 (btwn. Houston and Prince) New York, NY 10012. $5 or Free for MoCCA Members.  i made a little flier for it and i posted it below:

here’s an interview i did for the daily crosshatch about my upcoming book!  i think that the person who transcribed it must have been in a really big hurry or something, but most of the points seem to come across…

in other news, here’s a comic i drew for the upcoming robot themed issue of stumptown underground.  it was written by my favorite sexy genius, katie rose leon.  

remember that bridge to bridge anthology i drew that donner party story for? me neither! well, after many years it finally came out!

and to refresh your memory, here’s a few pages from the story, written by famous genius shannon o’leary.

go buy it right now!!!!!

ok so i wasnt sure when i was ever gonna get to finally say what i am working on but it looks like today is the day! i have been collaborating for some time with bill ayers on a graphic novel version of his well-loved text, to teach. it’s going to be really amazing! here is a panel from the proposal draft that says it all:

that’s not a great indication of what the final book will look like… really, there’s not a lot to show just yet as the script has only recently been completed and is going through some edits/revisions. i’m just starting up the pencils for the final book and i’ve been doing lots of character sketches:


so there you go, that’s what the big mystery has been all this time. that’s why i went to chicago and that’s why there have been so many drawings of classrooms and bill ayers on my blog for the past 6 months or so. oh, yes, and thats also why i had a forrest gumpesque cameo on bill o’reilly.

the book is scheduled for release in spring 2010. yikes! i’d better get back to work!!!
