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 [...]

I am almost on the home stretch on these watercolors for the upcoming exhibition in Paris. Here’s a few recent iphone shots from my kitchen table, the last few pieces. By the way while in France Ronnie I will also be attending Angouleme’s Festival International de la Bande Desinée. We’re really looking forward to meeting [...]

“Yuppi!” means “Yay!” in italian … strange word … but anyway the reason for my joy is that I just received in the mail Gipi’s latest book: “La mia vita disegnata male“!!! I read it last night from front to back and I was just blown away, what an amazing read! He weaves very personal [...]

I ordered the new Gipi book a few days ago, can’t wait for it to get here. LMVDM stands for “La mia vita disegnata male”, “My life badly drawn”. Unfortunately it’s only out in Italy at the moment, but if you don’t mind that you can order it from Coconino Press, like I did. I’ll [...]
