Back from APE now to prepare for CAB! 3:22 PM

Got in from San Francisco yesterday night and still suffering from a bit of jet lag and a lot of fun fatigue. "Fun Fatigue" you might wonder? well- it's cool to visit a city like San Francisco on ones own but it's amazing to do so when one of your traveling companions a local and is determined to get not just easy fun stuff in but the uber-cool  a bit out of the way stuff and all of the best food and dancing that a pack of cartoonists can handle (which surprisingly is a lot) Thank you JEN TONG! made this trip amazing! (Like the view above from Marshall Beach!)

Next up in the roster- CAB!

Silky Screening the KRAKEN! 3:36 PM

Silkscreen MADNESS! or something like that as the March towards APE continues! 3 of the 4 colors are done! Just need to print the back and the cover! This is my second edition of this book- I’ve changed the colors up a bit and added a pattern to the back. This version will debut at APE

APE! San Francisco! 4:24 PM

Print! draw! print! silkscreen! Prep! new stuff! old stuff! pack bags! Get ready! Going to the Alternative Press EXPO! California here I come with my studio mates Jen Tong, Tory Sica, and Kim Sielbeck! Joining us will be our old compadre and studio mate Sung Yoon Choi!

See you there! Above is another sketch of for an upcoming silkscreen poster

SPX bound! 1:13 PM

Once again! Time to load up my wagon with my humble comic book and wares and venture south to the cartooning utopia of Bethesda, Maryland. Ok, maybe not as romantic as that but I'll along with my studiomates Jen Tong and Tory Sica, along with a former studio mate Anuj Shrestha will be exhibiting at the Small Press Expo this year! We'll be there all weekend partaking in all sorts of poor decision making that happens after the festival every year!

Find me at table C2- come check out my stuff! The image above is a sketch for series of silkscreen prints I'm working on

fight!Fight!FIGHT! (the webcomic) 2:31 PM

There probably few who are familiar with my comic "fight!Fight!FIGHT!" Mainly, actually completely because I've only released it as risographed zine that I only sell at festivals. That's changing RIGHT NOW! I'm going to put the entire thing up on tumblr as a webcomic- is it just gnarly ol'scans that I'm putting up? no sir, completely remastered and colored for a medium. I will be putting up a new page everyday (that I'm around the computer) until they run out- and since I've already posted 4 pages to get it running there's about thirty or so days left- Check it here!

So RIPExpo! and Lucha to the LIBRE 3:13 PM

RIPExpo was good for it's first year and I'm looking forward to it next year. There's one thing I'd really like to see different- a date change so that the festival happens when RISDI/Brown are in session. I talked to a few locals who were concerned if that were so it'd be overwhelmed with RISDI kids/influence but I don't think a) that'll happen and if it does whether it's a bad thing and b) There are a ton of SVA/Pratt/FIT/whichever NY artschool attending/exhibiting at MoCCA and no one would ever assume those schools are a dominate influence at the fest. That said Providence is a smaller town and RISDI is a big influence there- so maybe they're right, but I think by not having during school session is cutting off an audience who would have really dug the festival. That's two cents right there.

Next up! SPX!

Currently working on new silkscreens and this pile of Luchadors is a study for my next large poster- 100 Lucha Libre-
