The Missoula Independent comics issue!

The second annual comics issue just came out from our weekly alternative newspaper here in Missoula, MT. I'm very happy that this is becoming a tradition now. Tomorrow night (Friday the 6th) there's going to be a one night art show of all the comics at the Missoula Independent headquarters on Orange and 1st. Should be a good time! Above is a panel from my own contribution.

Gridlords

The Chase Scenes anthology book release and art show was tonight. I hope a lot of people came out for it. It was cool to see this photo of my woodcut on the wall along with these awesome Gridlords flags. As soon as I have copies of my own, I'll make the anthology available on my etsy shop.

Chase Scenes Anthology release party and art show!

 Thursday evening, March 5th at Floating World Comics in Portland, Oregon, the Chase Scenes anthology published by Gridlords is being released!

Top: The original drawings I made for the front and back covers.

Middle: The book, hot off the presses.

Bottom: a page from the comic I made for the book.

So excited that this book is real!

I was searching through a stack of drawings in my studio and started to realize just how many drawings I've done that no one has ever seen. This is a tiny detail from a big doodle I'd forgotten about.

Gridlords! Chase Scenes! Floating World!

Here's some promo art for something I'm very excited about: The new comics anthology from my friends at Gridlords! Chase Scenes! I drew the cover and end page designs and contributed a 12 page comic. I'll have some original art on display at the release party at too. If you're in Portland, Head to Floating World Comics on March 5th!! This book has some of my favorite cartoonists in it.

Missoula Art Museum

This is the first full week of my exhibition at the Missoula Art Museum. Very thrilled to be working with them. The show is up through June 26th.

Keep Working!

Trying to finish The Understanding Monster, book 3 right now. Feels good to be making comics. Keep drawing, keep drawing!

Thank you Missoula Art Museum for trusting me to draw on your walls as part of my show. I'll be back to do more tomorrow!

Today I installed my show at the Missoula Art Museum. This is a little sample from one of the display cabinets: broken pen nibs and an open sketchbook.
