Artists & Fleas, Desert Island, MoCCA Comic

-This Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Ariel Schrag and I will be at a booth at Artists  & Fleas in Williamsburg, drawing portraits and selling books & minis & posters & things. We’re doing a thing where you can get a portrait done by each of us, from either side, at the same time-two for the price of one!

This Weekend: MoCCA

For some reason there is no information about it on the website, but I can assure you: I will be at the MoCCA festival this weekend, and furthermore, there will be a limited number of copies of my new book, Everything is Flammable, available. I’ll be at table number E167 with my publisher Uncivilized books, also selling mini comics and artwork, and after my new book sells out I’ll be selling tiny portraits.[image error][image error][image error][image error]

Naked Guy

Hello strangers! Here is a favorite comic of mine from my patreon page: [image error]I’ve been posting comics there about every other day for the past couple months.  There’s an ongoing meta-saga about Dungeons & Dragons, some comics about going to the “Dental Spa,” some tortured comics drawn with my left hand, and a whole lot of dog comics. If that’s your thing, check it out for as low as two dollars a month! It’s a lot of bang for the buck. I won’t judge if you pledge the minimum, I know how it is, things are tough all over!

It’s July All Year Round Now

And not just because of global warming, but because I’m launching a Patreon page for my secret, scrappy, sad, funny, private diary comics. For as little as two dollars a month, you can read a wealth of my personal comics and keep tabs on my life, forever. Or until this free world collapses some time this  year.

There are already a bunch on there and I’m committing to at least six pages a month.

You can pledge 2$, 3$, 5$, 10$ or 50$, they all will basically give you the same access to my weirdo experimental comics, like this one: [image error]

 

Everything is Flammable

It’s been three years in the making, and I can finally announce that my new graphic memoir, Everything is Flammable, is coming out in hardcover April 18th, 2017 from Uncivilized Books.

Everything is Flammable began in 2014, when I went back to my childhood home in the remote mountains of Northern California where my mother’s home, car and belongings had all been suddenly swallowed up by a fire. I then took several subsequent trips, trying to help as best I could as well as sticking my unwelcome, intrusive nose into my mom’s personal life and history, from which arose, with her begrudged blessing, this book.
