This Weekend! Baltimore Comic-Con!

The weekend is nearly upon us and with it comes Baltimore Comic-Con! Attendees will want to check out (and hopefully purchase) a copy of the newly released Act-i-vate Primer! It's a great opportunity to get it before it's official release date of 10/14 and have it signed and personalized by a number of Act-i-vate creators. Mike Cavallaro, Jim Dougan, Michel Fiffe, Simon Fraser, Dean Haspiel, Jennifer Hayden and myself will all be there! But, that's not all!

Also premiering this weekend during the Act-i-vate panel on Sunday, October 11th is the Act-i-vate Experience documentary. Here are the details:

2:00-3:30 The ACT-I-VATE Experience Members from ACT-I-VATE, the premiere webcomix collective, featuring Dean Haspiel, Mike Cavallaro, Jennifer Hayden, Tim Hamilton, Joe Infurnari, Simon Fraser, Kat Roberts, Michel Fiffe, and Jim Dougan, will discuss their new print anthology, THE ACT-I-VATE PRIMER (which debuts at the show), and will also debut, "The ACT-I-VATE Experience," a 32-minute documentary produced by Culture Pop Productions' Seth Kushner (Graphic NYC) and Carlos Molina.

See you there!

Sled Dogs with Color Tests

As the title of this post alludes, this image is a color test. I'll have other color treatments as I try new things.

Happy 70th, Harvey Pekar!

It all goes down in an interview with Glenn about his most recent book for First Second with artist Nick Bertozzi, Stuffed! Check it out here!

Secret Dog Project: Lettered!

So just today I finished doing the digital lettering for the Secret Dog Project. That means the dialog balloons have been lettered with the hand drawn sound effects to be added later. Next up is reading and taking notes in concert with my editor and the writer to make sure the story works. After that, I'll be inking this puppy. Haha, puppy! Get it!?

Thanks for your indulgence. I've got to get back to work.

The Best American Comics Recognizes "the Process"

Just today I picked up a copy of The Best American Comics 2009, the comics anthology series by Jessica Abel and Matt Madden. This year it's guest edited by Charles Burns and it was to my delight that I found out that  the Process has been included in the 'Notable Comics' section! Sure it would have been nice to see it excerpted in the book, but this is a wonderful honor all the same. Thank you so much!
