DiNK Denver April 13 & 14

I'm excited to visit Colorado for the first time to exhibit at DiNK Denver on April 13th and 14th! I'll be at table 244 on the second floor of the McNichols Civic Center Building Saturday from 11 am to 7 pm and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm. Come say hi!

Here's a handy map:

I will also have issues 1-6 of Urban Nomad, Cooking Up Comics, a variety of mini zines and The Collected Counter Attack!

Underground Heroes: New York Transit in Comics

Several of my comic pages from Urban Nomad, including two issue covers, are included in the exhibit "Underground Heroes: New York Transit in Comics" at the New York Transit Museum. Located in a decommissioned subway station at 99 Schermerhorn St. in Brooklyn, the Transit Museum contains decades of subway cars complete with vintage advertising as well as station signage. This show contains an excellent collection of transit history in comics and I'm so thrilled to have my work included alongside artists like Roz Chast and Windsor McKay!

Print Mag has some great photos and insights with exhibit curator Jodi Shapiro. I also spoke briefly with the Brooklyn Paper shortly after the exhibit opened.

Here are a few photos from the opening reception in June 2018. The show has been extended through April 7, 2019 so there is still some time to check it out.

If you're in the Toronto area May 9th and 10th come check out this free event at the Toronto Reference Library and surrounding venues. It looks like I will be at table 226 on the second floor of the Library in the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon. This may change, so I'll update on Twitter if it does.

This beautiful poster for TCAF Kids' Day was designed by special guests Gurihiru.

Upcoming Appearances at MoCCA and TCAF

I will be tabling at two conventions this Spring: MoCCA in NYC and TCAF in Toronto! This will be the first time The Collected Counter Attack! will be available at a convention in both New York and Canada. I will also have copies of my Urban Nomad autobio series, limited copies of the full color Cooking Up Comics mini comic and cat buttons and stickers.

MoCCA will be held next weekend April 11th and 12th at Center 548 (548 West 22nd St. New York, NY). The convention will be held on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. I'll be sharing table #446 on the 4th floor with my friend and fellow cartoonist Alison Wilgus (she wrote and drew the wonderful cat-centric comic A Stray in the Woods among other cool content.) Here is a handy map of the 4th Floor. You can see more artists and their work at the MoCCA website.

If you are a woman who makes or enjoys comics and will be in NYC that weekend, please come out to Drink and Draw Like a Lady which will be held on the evening of Friday April 10th at The Productive.

TCAF will be held at the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge St. Toronto, CAN) on May 9th and 10th and is free to attend. It will be my first Canadian convention so I'm very excited about that. Check out this amazing poster for TCAF Kids Day made by Japanese art team Gurihiru! I don't have an assigned table number yet, but I'll update when I do.

I hope to meet some of you at one of these events! I don't have any more conventions planned for 2015 yet, but you'll hear about them here if I do. You can always follow my Twitter, G+ or Facebook for ramblings and new art.

Fall Events: MICE and Locust Moon!

I will be exhibiting at MICE (Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo) at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 4th and 5th. If my books are finally released from customs, I'll have copies of The Collected Counter Attack! along with cat buttons and stickers, all 4 issues of Urban Nomad, and the full color Cooking Up Comics recipe sampler. It's free to attend and a great chance to meet your favorite comic authors and artists.

I will also be tabling at the Locust Moon Comics Festival at The Rotunda in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday October 25th. This event is donation based and kids under 13 are free. I will have all the merch mentioned above.

Pete's Mini Zine Fest this Saturday

If you're in New York, come out to Pete's Mini Zine Fest this Saturday July 26th from 2 pm-7pm. I will be tabling with a bunch of other local writers and artists and selling copies of Urban Nomad, Cooking Up Comics and my mini zines. Come have a beer at Pete's Candy Store (709 Lorimer St. Williamsburg Brooklyn) and check out all the neat local art. There is also a live reading at the same location on Friday evening to kick off the weekend!
