I’d like to share with you an important project I’ve had the luck to help in a small way. I’m sure you’ve heard about it by now: SketchTravel! Sketchtravel is a unique international charity project brainchild of my good friend Dice Tsutsumi and Gerald Guerlais. The idea is to benefit Room to Read, an international [...]

Click on the link below to see a little iphone video of me flicking through Venice Chronicles on the ipad. Forgive me the low quality video but I think it gives you an overall idea of it works. It’s really an interestingly different experience from reading the book. Don’t get me wrong, I love books [...]

I have to tell you about Whamix! It’s a brand new ipad comicbook reader that Apurvah Sha (One of the uberminds here at Pixar) has developed in the last few months. When I saw a test on a few pages of The Venice Chronicles I was immediately sold. It really simulates the eye movement on [...]

The nice folks at ComicBookResources have just posted a review of Venice Chronicles. I published the book with AdHouse almost two years ago, so this was a surprise … a very welcome surprise at that. Check it out (by scrolling down a little at the link).

Here’s the little silly Tshirt I just got printed for ComicCon. Yoga! You might remember this piece for the SketchTravel project, I turned it into this strange shirt. It’s an organic cotton American Apparel shirt, screen printed with five colors. The printers had their work cut out for this one but they sure pulled it [...]

I will be attending San Diego Comic-Con this year. I am at Booth #4800 with friends Ronnie del Carmen, Scott Morse and Jeff Pidgeon. This is an exciting year given that the Venice Chronicles is nominated for an Eisner Award! I’m also making a new t-shirt just for the Con … photos as soon as [...]

Hey there’s some nice Venice Chronicles news. I was nominated for a Will Eisner Comic Book Award under the category “Best Painter/Multimedia Artist”. You can read all the nominations details right here. Great to see some friends like Scott Morse and Kazu Kibuishi nominated. Also great to see one of my favorite books from last [...]

I can’t wait for this book to be out. Miyazaki’s Shuppatsu ten is getting a US release by Viz in July. The book contains writings and essays about film-making and philosophy by MiyaSan. Read more about what the book contains in this wonderful post at GhibliWorld.com. And since we’re on the subject, I was overjoyed [...]

I will be at Wondercon this coming weekend with friends Scott Morse and Bill Presing. Our booth is #1320. On hand I will have the Venice Chronicles, SketchCrawl t-shirts and a few of my older books. See you there. I just realized Ronnie will be there with us too. Yay!

Hey it’s the year of the cow! I owe you a drawing of one I think, everyone is doing it, but to tell you the truth I don’t have one so here’s a picture of me. That should do. So Happy New Year! I got a nice little surprise yesterday that made me feel good [...]
