Hey, New York people!
Come to my book release party Friday night at Rocketship, on Smith St in Brooklyn. 7pm onwards, free beer and wine, lots of good vibes. I'll have two comics out that week: DMZ and LOCAL.

That "very nice" was genuine, by the way.

Just wanted to say hi since I didn't get to do so at SDCC (but I did grab three Jenny One pages while I was there). And thanks for good reads.
How many people here read comic books/graphic novels, either on a regular basis or casually?
If you don't read them, is there a reason why not? ("no reason" is an acceptable answer, btw)
thanks.

I read a bunch. I write some too. I've enjoyed alot of your work and am looking forward to local and DMZ.....
dontpooyourself:
I enjoy reading comics a whole lot. I have a bunch of comic tattoos spanning from Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side to Grrl Scouts and Sin City. I picked up DMZ last wednesday, and was disappointed when my buddy Drew let me know that you had been in the shop on sunday, and I had missed it. I really enjoyed DMZ, but I was wondering if it had a predecessor. Maybe I'm just not too quick but the first issue seemed to kind of heave me right into the thick of things, without expaination as to why things were as they were. Was this purposely left up to the readers imagination, or will it be covered in future issues? Sorry, I know this is really long, so I'll stop pestering you. Keep up the good work!
Just about killed myself yesterday trying to complete an illustration for San Francisco's Bay Guardian... teach me to take on last minute illo jobs. Moneky head being dissected in a lab? NO PROBLEM! How hard can that be?
9 hours and six drafts later, I finally crawled into bed. Not really looking forward to the critique it's bound to get from the art director.

it coulda been worse. they coulda asked for TWO monkey heads......
h3athrow:
Dude, let us know when it runs. Assignments like that can kill. Yet you can rock. And we can tell you that. More comics and cartoon people should share their illo experiences. That work might be where the money is. Ans there may be ways to seek that money that don't suck.

i hate it when animals have trouble walking... it's unfortunately been the progression of all my dogs and some of the people in my life...

Best drink in the world:
first make homemade Ginger Beer:
12 oz roughly chopped ginger. Don't peel.
1 bay leaf
Put in a large bowl. Add 10 cups boiling water. Let sit/steep for at least 4 hours but overnight is better. Then strain ginger mixture into a pitcher.
3/4 water, 3/4 sugar into a saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer, let sugar melt,...

I once bought a bottle of so called "Ginger Beer" at the grocery store. It tasted like Toilet Duck smells.

hey cool site, man!
living in LA is really sort of the exact opposite of what you're doing though - it's very weird to think of this town in those terms... like, my local freeway? i'm local to my car, maybe... that's my "neighborhood" and most of my "neighbors" are assholes in SUV's...
even my apartment complex is a labyrinth of solitude, to evoke the great octavio paz, wherein people who can hear eachother through the walls only offer scant nods and "heys" in passing outside of the building, and weekends take on a nightmarish quality of otherness... two blocks in one direction are million dollar homes, two blocks in the other is a slowmotion never ending gun battle between tiny gangs you never heard of... english speakers and spanish speakers rarely if ever offer one-another greetings in the street, or even eye contact for that matter. I tell cats "hola" and it blows their minds like they didn't now i could see them or some shit, race and class having become such marginalized concepts that it is as if we now occupy the same physical space in LA but in different, never-connecting dimensions.
i've lived in this area for over a decade, in other words, but i still don't feel like a "local" -- nor could i claim to have a "hometown" anywhere else. it's a strange feeling.

Newsarama interviews me on graphic design, my history and how it relates and applies to the world of comics, mine and others.
A snippet:
"A lot of this [mainstream superhero comic] style of design is classic, timeless stuff, and regardless of the fact that its not breaking any new ground, design-wise, still holds up. I think the more successful covers are the ones that...

Wow, that's awesome, especially since Manhunt and GTA are essentially the only games that I've ever been interested in. Congratulations on the comprehensive interview and apparent success.
