Over the weekend, I posted up some new photos to the Photo Feed. In this small set are a bunch of drawings I like to call REED-iculous RICHARDS. Take a look and see why!
Today marks the launch of a new web initiative I am part of called Trip City. A Brooklyn-Filtered Literary Arts Salon, Trip City‘s membership draws from a broad spectrum of concerns and disciplines. Comics, photography, music, prose, art and illustration all have a home there thanks to the site’s diverse membership. I have the good fortune of working alongside talented friends and colleagues like Dean Haspiel, Seth Kushner, Nick Abadzis, Kevin Colden, Nick Bertozzi, Jen Ferguson, Amy Finkel, Jennifer Hayden, Chris Miskiewicz, Jeff UK, and Ron Scalzo.
Already at the site, you will find Seth Kushner’s Culture Pop profile of author and creator of the hit television show, Jonathan Ames. Already at the site are new comics by Kevin Colden and Chris Miskiewicz, art from the two Nicks (Abadzis and Bertozzi) and the two Jennifers (Ferguson and Hayden) and a full length podcast with founding members of Trip City as well as an interview with Michael Moore!
So please head on over to Trip City and share your thoughts through our comments section, like it on Facebook and if so inclined, tweet about it. Your thoughts and support are a big part of why we do this. Thank you.
The Photo Feed has just been updated and if there’s a theme to the pics that went up, it would be CATS! There are a lot of cat drawings that went up today so if you like cats and you like cartoons, then I’m your guy. Have fun and check back soon for more updates! Thanks!
I’ve just uploaded a wad of photos to the Photo Feed! In this batch you’ll find all sorts of things including lots of drawings, cat doodles, some graphiti and the biggest subway rat ever! Head on over there now and take a looksee!
In other words, MARATHON, the book I’ve been working on with writer Boaz Yakin for First Second, is now done! The experience of doing this book was difficult and exhilarating. When I first began work on it, I very much felt that my skills were not up to the task and it took a long time before I settled into it. It wasn’t long after that that I encountered health problems associated with stress and the ergonomics of my workstation. Months of physical therapy kept me in the race until I was able to get back into it at full speed. I can now look back on the project as a whole and say that it’s easily my best work to date and look forward to next year’s release with a great deal of optimism. Thanks for being there throughout the process. I’ll continue to post news and images from the book leading up to its release in June 2012.

MUSH! Has also been positively reviewed in the PW Review for September 26:
Eichler and Infurnari tell a simple but layered story, laced with an insightful appreciation of the great gulf that exists between our species and life’s comic absurdity.
MUSH! Sled Dogs with Issues will be available in stores December 6th. Don’t you dare miss it!
