New York Comic Con 2011
I am attending New York Comic Con this weekend! However, I will not have a table. I do have a couple of appearances lined up, and I will be at the Top Shelf booth 1833 (with copies of Gingerbread Girl!) on an occasional basis, though we haven't set up a schedule for that (–yet! Check my Twitter for updates!)
My scheduled appearances are as follows:
SATURDAY, 4:30-5:30: signing Jim Henson's The Storyteller with Nate Cosby and Chris Eliopoulos. ARCHAIA BOOTH 1546
SUNDAY, 11:15-12:15: MARVEL "Women Of Marvel" panel. ROOM 1A22
Check back for further updates!

I Ain't Ashamed: Marvel's Shame Itself
I've been working with Daily Show writers Elliott Kalan and Wyatt Cenac on humor shorts in Shame Itself, coming to stores November 2.
Wyatt talks about the book here, and Elliott talks about it here!
Meanwhile, Elliott has a grassroots campaign going to get Andy Rooney's old job. [VIDEO] He's even got a petition. I think it's a worthy cause.

Monday Fan Art: Adrien English Mysteries
Digital art in Photoshop. I've been playing around with cover design, so for practice (and for fun!) I've done these fan art designs for the first two novels of the Adrien English Mystery series by author Josh Lanyon.
