MoCCA Recap and Alaska Robotics Mini-Con!

I had a really great time at my 10th?! MoCCA Fest this year. Lots of good conversations and catching up with comics friends that I don't see nearly often enough. I was also fortunate to sit next to OG graphic novelist Katherine Arnoldi and soon to be graduates Gabbi Brandini and Avery Storms.

It's always an inspiring weekend and I came home with a number of great comics despite not having much time to explore the convention.

On Sunday of the convention, I talked to Jimmy Aquino for his podcast Comic News Insider. The episode also features Robin Ha of Cook Korean! and Ken Wong of Origami Comics. Give it a listen here.

Next up: I'm going to Alaska!
I'll be at the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con this Saturday April 28th. I'm psyched to meet comics enthusiasts of Alaska, see a glacier and camp in the woods with an awesome group of cartoonists.

Here's a felt banner I made last weekend since I'm trying to travel light and will be sans regular-sized convention banner.

Hello! I've got some exciting events coming up this year. First on the list is MoCCA Arts Festival next weekend April 7th and 8th from 11 am to 6 pm at Metropolitan West (W 46th St. between 11th and 12th Ave.) Admission is $7 per day and gives you access to a ton of amazing artists and panel discussions.

I will have a new 32 page collection of Cooking Up Comics recipes for Fall and Winter. These 9 recipes are my staples for Thanksgiving, Christmas and winter in general. I will also have copies of Urban Nomad #1-6, The Collected Counter Attack! as well as cat buttons, cute veggie stickers and mini zines.




Come find me on the first floor at table A119A. Here's a handy map of the venue layout:

Hourly Comic Day 2018!

Another Hourly Comic Day has come and gone and I managed to keep up with it. It still bugs me that I can't scan the manila color of my sketchbook without the ink looking faded, so I upped the contrast but there was no other Photoshop editing. Without further ado:


All my Hourly Comics from previous years. It was interesting to look through this archive of what I was doing on the same day for the past decade.
