Recovery Cafe on Denny Way.) Available at the Olympia Comics Fest next Saturday, June 8th.

Dash Shaw at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery

Dash Shaw showed some amazing animation, premiered his new book "New School" and inspired us all as he talked about how he came to drawing the way he does, and the way he uses color. It was more a class than a talk! A great night!

What's going on -

I'm going to perform a funny comic story for Fantagraphics Follies at Bumbershoot this September!

Short Run hosted Eamon Espey and Lisa Krause last night at The Richard Hugo House along with local special guests: Erin Tanner, Tess Martin, and Tim Miller. What a great night!

I found this in Forbes magazine of all places - but I am going to try to live in the courage zone from now on!

Free Comic Book Day - May 4th

Fantagraphics Bookstore will issue an exclusive 16-page Freak Comic Book mini featuring a stellar cast of local alternative artists. Edited by Intruder contributor Marc Palm, the book includes new works by Max Clotfelter, Kelly Froh, Eroyn Franklin, Tom Van Deusen, Ben Horak, Darin Shuler, David Lasky, Aidan Fitzgerald, Pat Moriarity, John Ohannesian, Max Badger, and James Stanton. As May 4 is also widely recognized as “Star Wars Day” – (ahem, “May the Fourth Be With You”) – the mini concludes with touching tributes to Yoda by Peter Bagge, Ellen Forney, Jim Woodring, and Kazimir Stzrepek. Freak Comic Book is limited to 100 copies. Many of the contributing artists will be in attendance to sign their work. “This is the comic you’re looking for.”

Illustration for Mother's Day

This is the mother of my senior friend Carole Anne (who is in her '90's). It's from a photo where she and other young women dressed as men for a laugh.
