More Photos from The Characters Show

Here are a few more snapshots of the evening. On February 1st, I had a solo show at LaunchPad in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, documenting ONE HUNDRED friendly, contemporary cartoonist's faces. It was lots of fun (and lots of work). Special thanks to Robyn Chapman, Diana Ho, Christopher M. Duffy, Edwin Vazquez, Nick Zutrau, Maki Naro for their help (And Connie for the chocolate!)

First Days in Florida

I've been at the Atlantic Center for the Arts Comic Book Residency with Dean Haspiel for the past few days. It's a wonderful and amazing program so far, here's some pictures of the vegetation, art folk, and other assorted items.

New studio space.

They have tea here, and we each got a mug :)

On the first day, we met most of the day and talked about our projects.

Fan Photos For The Oxford American

Diana and I do a poor job containing our excitement for the new issue of the Oxford American. What's that you're reading? No big deal--just great comics journalism in a nationally distributed magazine.

All in a Day's Work

While working hard at cartooning and making comic books, I also work full time for a science photo agency that specializes in shooting material for textbooks (Fundamental Photographs). For an artist trying to make it in New York City, these people make possible what would be impossible alone. Thank you Kip and Richard for being a wonderful presence in my life and rooting me on (and for reading my blog)!

Rabid Rabbit #14: Love Letter

 

I never posted the complete version of the Love Letter comic I did for Rabid Rabbit. I think the book itself is very beautiful. The production team at Rabid Rabbit did a beautiful job. My messy desk makes an appearance.

Cow Party

I got a kiss from one of the young cows! I love her pink mouth.

More kisses.
