A couple of weeks ago I had a great conversation with Tom Spurgeon of the Comics Reporter. He basically asked me what it is I do all day, and if you’re interested you should check out the interview at The Comics Reporter. The interview is one of many in the CR Holiday series, and if you’re a fan of the comics you should definitely read all of them. Mine is #15.
Also, for all you flash fiction readers, my third iStory is up at Narrative Magazine. I titled this one “Ravishing Pink” and if you’d like to read it, you can in a flash (seriously, it’s a 150 word story!) right HERE.
Hey, everyone, I just wanted to let you know about an interview I did with Sean Kleefeld at MTVGeek. Sean and I discussed all things “Velia, Dear” including how the web comic differs with “Tina’s Groove”, “Six Chix” and my gag cartoons. We talked about process, and all that nitty gritty stuff that I know the geek in you loves. (If you don’t have a geek inside you, then I suggest you go out and find one because being a geek is fun.) Anyway, here’s the link: MTV Geek Interview…. thanks for taking a look!
Yes, I know, I haven’t been the perfect blogger lately. It’s all due to travel and a busy work schedule. As for the travel part, I thought I should post an update before heading to the UK for a short break. But before I do, I should tell you about a couple of things.
The first is a podcast review of my web comic “Velia, Dear” on digitalstrips.com I was very happy with the review except for one thing – the pronounciation of Velia’s name! Guys, it’s not pronounced “Veel-ia”, like a meat, it’s pronounced “Veh-lia” like a veil. Oh, well, I guess it was a great review, and I really can’t complain, can I?
The other exciting piece of news is that “Tina’s Groove” will be part of an exhibition at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. The name of the show is “Black And White And Read All Over: Comics of The New Millenium” and it features the work of Stephan Pastis (“Pearls Before Swine”), Richard Thompson (“Cul de Sac”), Piers Baker (“Ollie & Quentin”), Alex Hallatt (“Arctic Circle”), Mark Tatulli (“Lio”), Jeff Parker and Steve Kelley (“Dustin”), Keith Knight (“The Knight Life”), and Lalo Alcararaz (“La Cucaracha”). A really talented bunch of people. The show will run from December 17th to May 6th. So if you’re in San Francisco, or planning on being there during those months, you should definitely check it out.
I’ll be back from my travels with some sketchbook drawings… ‘bye for now.
