MoCCA 2010

Some photos from MoCCA 2010.



Above: I have to say, this person looks kind of suspicious of my books.



This person (Max Ink) however, was not as suspicious of my books.
In fact, he cheerfully traded comics with me.

100th post and two year anniversary of blog!

This entry marks two years and 100 posts since this blog started!

To celebrate, here's some sketches and watercolors from a visit to the zoo recently.



Kangaroo grazing, peacock sunning (or resting) and flamingoes.


Also, special guest photograph by Junko Rothwell --

MAA Comics exhibition and Boston Zine Fair/Blastfest III

Some photos from the opening of the Marblehead Arts Association comics exhibit on March 7th.
* The show runs from March 6-28 at the MAA’s location at 8 Hooper Street, Marblehead, Massachusetts.

Below: cover illustration and pages from my new comic.




An animation I made, "Ghosts by the Road", was also screened as part of a looping reel of animations during the reception. (See it at YouTube or Newgrounds)








Later we ate at Gulu Gulu's in Salem. And posed with signs.


Also, some photos from Saturday's Blastfest III or the Boston Zine Fair or whatever the event wants to call itself.




This was an interesting event. Lots of music, which was nice, but depending on the style of music or decibel level (and the show does live up to it's name) it was hard to talk or hear people. Still, I liked the peanut butter jelly sandwiches.

Lots of rain recently

Rivers were flooding yesterday, and lakes have risen at least 3 feet.

Kresge show photos

Photos from a one-day show at Kresge (as part of an event at MIT).


Pictured: illustration for cover of "Mark and the Gillys" comic and excerpt (left), as well as a series of watercolor studies I did (right).



That person above (bending over to look) came back later, and continued to stare at the presented works. Finally, I made some sort of comment to him about how he seemed to be intensely peering at the pictures and comic.

"Yes," he said. "They're so weird."

Maybe I should have told him that I painted them.
