Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to let you know some really great news:  I’ve done a second run of my first comic!  My first one was completed two years ago in an unexpected 8 hour day at the printers before heading to Comic Con.  Over the past two years it’s been carried at one of my favorite boutique comic book stores in Los Angeles Secret Headquarters & locally distributed by Narrow Books and thusly has sold out.  I have decided to give this comic some proper attention before I move on to my next one.

The comic is $6.00 which includes S&H.  If you are outside the United States before you purchase please contact me  & we’ll work something out.

Thanks for your support & please spread the word if you enjoy my comic or perhaps, have before!

You can also find my comic at these locations in the United States.  If there’s a place in your hood that you think would like to carry them please let me know!

This is my latest comic:  a collection of drawings I did from day to every other (or so) day over a three month period.  At the end of the day I would sit down and try to draw or write the first thing that stood out for me about that day.  Essentially these are moments from my life displayed as honest as I was feeling at that time.  If you’d like a copy it’s only $5 which includes shipping.  If you’re overseas just drop me a line here & we’ll figure out it out.  Sound good?  Then…

SOLD OUT

*NOTE* Shipping on this product is free & the comics will be shipped within 1 to 2 weeks

lean forward and say something real

I feel in love with Dash Shaw’s comics around 3 or 4 years ago. The first one I read was Love Eats Brain which completely floored me, knocked me in the chest and made me feel that I was in the hands of someone who put his heart into it. When I mentioned my fondness for Love Eats Brains to him he told me his newer ones were better. I’m thinking he probably doesn’t have the perspective cause I still hold Love Eats Brains as one of my top favorite comics. Its’ simply intuitive & sincere, which I love. This video is a trailer for BodyWorld which you can find up online on his site. You should also pick up The Mother’s Mouth which I soaked up in an afternoon. Here’s an entry I did on him back in August.

Lynda Barry reads from Girls & Boys in the 1988 documentary Comic Books Confidential

God I love Lynda Barry. She’s pretty much ruleage. I’ve bought a couple of her anthologies lately The Fun House and most recent Ond Hundred Demons. I’ve cried during a few parts because her shit is so visceral while deep and honest. She offers a writing workshop at the Omega Institute coming up in July of 2007. She doesn’t have a website but there are a lot of fansites out there.
