New Studio!

Dear Friends,
After 4 years of working in the closet nook of Little House, I've moved to greener pastures along the Willamette River!
Break a cyber champagne bottle in honor of my new studio!
I'll be sharing it with zinester and co-author of the Tell It Like It Tiz senior citizen zine/project, Marc Parker.

The dogs even like it here.

For a little perspective, here is my old drawing space:

...And my new drawing space:

Very psyched.

Stumptown Comics Fest Nametags

I had some fun at Stumptown this year, getting to table with my great friends Alec Longstreth, Claire and Tugboat Press.

I have some photos from a panel I was on with Trevor Dodge, Diana Schutz, Brian Michael Bendis ,and Patrick Rosenkranz.


Here's a photo in which you can catch a glimpse of Brian yawning as I spoke.
These photos were taken by a very patient 6 year old who sat through the entire 2 hour panel on college-level comic classes without so much as a whine or a sniffle.

How People See Me, part I

Here is some feedback from two people, circa 2008.

One is a portrait by my friend (writer, blogger, comedian) Tara Jepsen, drawn while on vacation in New York City.

The second is a quote from a drunk guy to me at El Rio in San Francisco, California.

Enjoy!

Oldies Harass Marc

As you may or may not know, I've been doing a zine workshop with senior citizens for the past four and a half years. We go weekly, and in recent years the most consistent volunteer & closest friend to the seniors has been my friend Marc. The ladies LOVE to give him a hard time. Read on.

OH! By the way! Marc is going to be my new studio-mate!
After four years of working in the closet nook in my home, I'll be packing up and moving in to a historic building on the Willamette River. Photos to come.

We hope to get a new issue of our senior citizen zine, Tell It Like It Tiz', completed before the 2011 Portland Zine Symposium.
Cross your fingers!

Food My Dog Family Eats

Hello! Stay tuned as I post new bits & pieces I found in my comic artist/hoarder spring cleaning today!

*Note: Beija does not eat as many kale stalks as she used to, as Jeb pointed out a certain gastrointestinal issue they were causing. Ahem. BUT! she still comes running for broccoli stalks.

STUMPTOWN COMICS FEST

Hello!
I will be at STUMPTOWN COMICS FEST next weekend.
I'm sitting at table C-16 with Clutch/Tugboat Press & Alec Longstreth (Alec shown here, in 2009)!
Come see me and buy something. I'll have prints and zines, etc.
I'll try to wear a booth babe outfit but no promises.

I'll also be speaking on two panels on Saturday:

The IPRC Comics Program Info Meeting
and a Teaching College-Level Comics panel.

That's all I have to say for now. I was just cleaning out my pantry room (again????) and found almost a literal ton of unpublished comics which I will slowly scan and post for you here.
