So, it’s been a while since a post. This is a drag! Especially since there have been many things happening!

First off, earlier in the month I (and a fantastic companion) visited Toronto. Toronto is an absolutely wonderful and beautiful town, and I heartily recommend you to go there, all of you (grammar much?) Anyways, whilst there I went to The Beguiling, which is an absolutely amazing comic shop!!! While there, I managed to sell them a few copies of Cyber Winter and Good-Bye The Pig, so now, if you are in Canada, it is that much easier to get my comics!!! :D

Later in the month, the Comics Symposium of Chicago took place, and I must say it was a runaway success! I participated in a panel with Joey Jacks, Sarah Becan, and Anders Nilsen, moderated by Jeremy Tinder. WOW! I think it went well, and I heard that it’s going to be podcasted or some sort of “you can hear it” thing, so I’ll keep you posted.

Lastly, the newest issue of SAIC’s Xerox Candy Bar comics anthology is out, and I contributed a one-pager foldy zine to it. If you attend SAIC, you probably already have it, and if you don’t, sneak in and try to steal one. My one-pager is called “Getting To Know You Better,” and I may post it online here in the near future.

As for me? I’m fine. Working hard/hardly working. (I am penciling page 105 of Birds & Wolves, and have inked up to 101. Those are incredibly large numbers.)

Oh, yeah! Got a show coming up. April 16th, I believe, at the Happy Dog Gallery: 1542 N. Milwaukee Avenue Chicago, IL 60622. I’ll keep you posted.

I feel in need of a recap, professionally speaking.

By which I mean: I have five mini-comics out in the world (which you can regard at Quimby’s here in Chicago), of which I will write here, with short descriptions:

It Won’t Be Long:
A visual pun, a transition, youthful romance:

Bob Dylan’s 115th Hat:
A treasure, a lunar body, a cantankerous kid:

Life in the Cyber Winter:
Freezing, responsibility, the future:
(apologies for the massive/blurry photo)

Good-Bye, The Pig:
Reality, Water-Strands, new beginnings:

Garfield In Chains:
Sass, The Portly Prankster, Fantasy:

Low Spark (1913-1938-1973-201?)
High-heeled boy, faces, transformation:

There is, too, of course, “Birds & Wolves,” my in-progress graphic novel, which I am putting up on Lulu.com in Chapter-size chunks. So far Chapters One and Two are available, and I am knee-deep in the penciling/inking of Chapter Three. BUT, more on thaaat later, friends.
