p.s. if you got one at the Zine Symposium and are wondering,
I LOVE COMICS MADE BY KIDS. This is why I spend all my time working with students, helping them create their own zines & comic books! Okay! Ol-e!

This, That, The Other. (Doilies, Retreat, Sparkplug)

Hello!

1. It is the end of summer, and I am selling a batch of hand-drawn one of a kind Dog Doilies on my etsy page. They range from $12- $24, and for this you are buying a piece of original art. Which is neat. Here are a few examples, with links.

Italian Greyhound

French Bulldog

Boston Terrier

Whistling Hound

and Fun-Loving Yorkie
2. We are turning in my book to the publisher on September 1st. Knock on Wood Knock on Wood.

3. Thank you to the Radar Lab for offering a free, tropical residency for queer writers and artists.

4. There is a new Clutch/Invincible Summer split, AND a new copy of Tell It Like It Tiz (the oldies zine). Neither is in my clutches, but both will be SOON!

5. Sparkplug Comics founder Dylan Williams is a friend of mine who has fallen seriously ill. As he is a comic book purveyor and not an office-man, he has no health insurance.
A great way to support Dylan and Sparkplug would be to buy something from them!
I suggest:
Passage by Tessa Brunton
(I love Tessa's comic In The Tall Grass, which you can buy from Sparkplug. My copy of Passage is on its way to my house as we speak.)


or

Whirlwind Wonderland by Rina Ayuyang (I haven't read Whirlwind Wonderland YET but I hope to soon).


6. I can't think of anything else. I'm starting a podcast soon. I'll tell you all about it.
In the meantime, here's Beija:

What's Going On

Hello People!

1. We moved!

The dogs & I moved into a much larger house (compared to my Little House, which rang in at 596 square feet). It is not the house shown here.

2. Keep your eyes out for my short "It Gets Better" comic in this week's Pride Edition of the Portland Mercury.

3. I'm drawing a comic about the great Vanport flood for the Dill Pickle Club.

4. I'm also working on this year's split with Clutch.

5. I've started wearing a weird orthopedic mitt on my drawing hand, called a Wrist-O-Prene. Drawing to follow.

Here's a photo while you wait.


6. Am so close to the graphic novel finish line.

7. Am conceptualizing a podcast. Stay tuned.

8. I'm teaching at the IPRC's Comic Certification Program this summer and fall. Check it out, aspiring cartoonists!

9. Please be a fan of my Invincible Summer page on Facebook! Much better than strangers personally befriending my on there!

n.g.

p.s. Here's a cell phone picture of my new cattoo, done by the tattooing genius Dan Gilsdorf.

Dan will soon be in San Francisco, so lucky you, go and get something nice from him.

p.p.s. Do you like Light Rock? Then perhaps you will enjoy California Lite, by the very near & dear Katy Davidson with her band Key Losers! You can listen to it here for free (I think), and then buy it on your own.
