CONVENTION SCHEDULE/NEW INTERVIEW

It's been a loooong while since I've posted, been laying low while I get started on my post-Essex County projects (more to come on that soon). At any rate I'm back, and first off there is a new interview with me at Publisher's Weekly.


Secondly I wanted to post my convention schedule for 2008. This year, in addition to my Essex County books and Lost Dogs, I'll have a new mini-comic! I'll also have tonnes of original art, and paintings for sale. And I will be happy to do commissioned sketches. At any rate here are the shows I'll be appearing at:

Toronto Hobbystar Comicon April 12-13.

MoCCA Comic Art Festival- New York-June 7-8th

Toronto Paradise Comicon-July 12-13

San Diego ComicCon-July 24-27

SPX- Baltimore-October 4-5

So please, if you're coming to any of these shows, stop by and see me!

P.S. A new 5 page Western comic I did coming tomorrow....

TOP SHELF'S 2008 SAMPLER COVER

Here is the recent cover art I did for Top Shelf's 2008 Seasonal Sampler. The Sampler will probably be shipped in the spring/early summer and is a great free trade paperback-sized volume featuring tonnes of artwork and previews of upcoming books by myself, James Kolchaka, Nate Powell and a bunch of other great cartoonists, as well as perrenial Top Shelf favorites. So be sure to ask your local comic shops for one.

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE IT'S...

This new painting of Superman is now available at the new Art Store section of my website, which has been updated, including the illustration section.

Also, the amazing Brett Warnock over at his Top Shelf Blog has some cool Essex County related photos, as well as a sneak peak at the cover I did for their 2008 Sampler Catalogue coming this Spring.
