DETROIT COMICS CITY?

ATTENTION: Detroit

On March 4th, I will be talking about my experience in comics at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit as part of their annual Comic Jam (presented by MOCAD and Green Brain Comics)! The Comic Jam begins at 4:00, and my talk begins at 7:00. Both the talk and jam are FREE and ALL AGES.

I hope you can make it. Please pass along and post this information to anyone and everyone that you think might be interested! Thanks so much, hope to see lots of you there.

2011 Glyph Awards Nominations

Afrodisiac, Brian Maruca, and I have been nominated for some 2011 Glyph Awards. The Glyph Awards are held annually in conjunction with the East Coast Black Age of Comics Con (ECBACC) in Philadelphia. I have never attended the show, but have heard good things about it. At the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival, I spoke to a couple of guys who highly recommended the show. With some scheduling good fortune, hopefully this will be the year I finally get to see this show in person! In the meantime, here is a link to the complete list of Glyph Award nominees for 2011.

Thank you to the nominating committee. This is quite an honor.

TUMBLR and BIRTHDAY

I've started a tumblr to showcase various bits of odds and ends - things I'm working on, sketches, daily progress...whatever. Not sure how it will develop, but I thought I'd mention it for anyone that might be interested in that sort of thing. For now it will be mostly random images of whatever I'm working on for the day.

In other news, the second printing of Afrodisiac is almost gone. We've got a couple cases to get us through some shows this year, but if you want a copy, you might want to act soon! Ditto on Street Angel. Some copies were damaged in storage, and it looks like that second printing is just about gone as well. Thanks to everyone who has picked up the books. It means a lot more to me than I can convey in a blog post.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has taken time to wish me a Happy Birthday!
