Holy shit, STUMPTOWN!!! I just came back from beautiful Portland, OR where I was an exhibitor at the Stumptown Comics Fest. I wrote up my full report at my blog, which you can read right here. Long story short, the show was great, PDX was great, and a good time was had by all.

I also attended the New York Comic Con in April and posted yet ANOTHER report right here.

OH! Also - My Brain Hurts #8 is now available in the online store! Check it out!

Three things! First of all, I recently found out that I've been nominated for the Maisie Kukoc Award for Comics Inspiration! Voting began April 7th, 2008 and goes until April 24th, 2008 so if you are a reader of mini-comics and would like to vote for me or for anyone else on the ballot, shoot an email to Jesse Reklaw (reklaw at slowwave dot com) to be sent a ballot so you can cast your vote! The winner of the Kukoc Award this year will also receive a cash prize of $400 (which, I won't lie, I could REALLY use)

Second of all! May 2nd is my last day at my day job, after which I will be drawing comics and illustration full-time! This means I will definitely finish issue 10 of My Brain Hurts by SPX this year, which was my hopeful deadline! Hurray!

Third of all, the New York Comic Con is coming up in just under two weeks and I have my signing schedule right here:

Saturday April 19th - I will be signing at the Friends of Lulu table (which I believe is at the MoCCA table, booth 840) from 11am-12noon, followed by the Indie Spinner Rack table (in the podcast arena) from 1-4pm.

Sunday April 20th - I will be signing at the Friends of Lulu table again from 12-1pm

Oh, I guess I lied! There is another thing - I'll be at the Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland, OR April 26-27 at the Lloyd Center Doubletree. Come see me if you're in the area! I'll be at tables 11-12.

Just a short lil heads up that I was recently interviewed by Canada's own Inkstuds internet radio programme and the interview was posted yesterday so be sure and check it out over on the ol' Instuds blog or search for it in the podcast section of your iTunes. That is all!

Hey everybody! So I know I haven't updated in a while but that's because I've been SUPER BUSY! "My Brain Hurts" #8 is debuting at the Stumptown Comics Festival in April and I have to get ready! But until then, guess what? I have a mailing list now! Not just any mailing list, a SUPER AWESOME mailing list! Beginning in April 2008 I will be sending out a once-monthly email newsletter detailing what I've been up to that month, what's coming out, what events I'm going to, special subscriber-only deals, but best of all there will be bi-monthly contests and an EXCLUSIVE sketch in each issue! These things are only available by subscribing to the newsletter so sign up, won't you?

Fill out your e-mail address to receive my monthly newsletter! Each newsletter features an exclusive sketch!

Just got back from SPX, and boy was it a great show! Thanks to everyone who came down (or up) and showed their support and/or bought some books from me and all the other excellent creators. I did incredibly well, selling out every last copy of the new MBH collection that I brought with me! Hurray! Luckily I still have some more copies here at home to sell at MoCCA this summer and I'm sure Microcosm has a ton more in their shop.

I wrote a ton about the whole experience with a bunch of pics in my blog right here if you'd like to check it out. I also made another entry detailing my favorite books from the show right here.

And hey, guess what? I have a TON of new stuff in the store! "My Brain Hurts" #7, my new minicomic "Layover," and print sets of punk rock valentines which contain 4 postcard sized silkscreen prints wrapped up in a neat little package with twine!

The book is out! You can now order the collected edition of issues 1-5 of "My Brain Hurts" from Microcosm Publishing for only five bucks. Hooray for 1-5 being back in print in some form! The book also includes paper dolls, activities, and pinups!

6.27.07

"My Brain Hurts" issue 6 is now available in the online store! Huzzah! Issues 1 through 5 are out of print again! Boooo! But I think Microcosm still has them if you're trying to find 'em. Huzzah!

6.26.07

 

MoCCA 2007 is over! Long live MoCCA! Long story short, sales were great, but I got sick and lost my voice and that kind of ruined the chances of me having too much fun. Thanks to all who bought stuff from me, got on my mailing list, or gave me a much-needed chuckle. Read my full report with pictures at my blog right here.

Oh, and issue 6 of "My Brain Hurts" will be up for sale online shortly! I just need a day or two to catch up on my sleep first.

Check out my interview over at the Indie Spinner Rack podcast! It's issue 82 and you can listen to it by either searching for "Indie Spinner Rack" in the podcast section of your iTunes or you can listen directly from their website by clicking "play." It's about an hour an a half long and I haven't listened to it yet but I probably said the word "vagina" a lot, along with much foul language, so I don't recommend this for the faint of ears.

So I'm back from APE! Okay, well, I got back a little over a week ago. If you're at all interested, you can see a bunch of pictures from my trip, including not only pics from APE but from Zane's and my trips to Alcatraz and Muir Woods, as well as my wordage on the events at my blog. I got about fifteen pounds of comics and I still haven't read them! Sheesh, what kind of a cartoonist am I?? A busy one, that's what!

3.27.07

Hey guess what? Issues 1-3 of "My Brain Hurts" (previously out of print) will be available for sale from me at the Alternative Press Expo this April 21-22nd in San Francisco! That's right, I reprinted a bunch to bring with me to the convention. But I'm still not going to sell any through the website because I can't make a lot of them and need to have something to sell at the Expo, y'know? If I have any left over I'll probably bring 'em to some local NYC shops, but I'll letcha know!

New site design! Woo! Oh, and I have a reading coming up on 3/25 at Bluestockings Books here in NYC. Details about this and future appearances are right here.
