This is a Typhoid Mary story, and as such, one of the characters had several personalities, and needed letter styles for each one.
Needless to say this was one of the hardest, and also most rewarding pieces that I’ve ever lettered.
A million thanks to Marvel, Ann, and Molly for having me!
It was an honor to work with such talented ladies!!
Speaking of comics, I’m leaving for San Diego Comic Con tomorrow night!!
Leave a note if you are going and want to meet up!
I will be in Portland, Oregon this weekend– attending Stumptown Comics Fest!!YAY!
If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to instead of keeping my blog up to date, I’ve been working on a new mini with none other than Mr. John C. Worsley.
I am at table 34! Come say hi! Buy my new mini!
Also, I have an awesome big surprise on the horizon that you will see either at the fest, or on here shortly thereafter.
I recently was asked to contribute an illustration of Harvey Pekar to Smith Magazine. They asked a group of 70 artists draw his portrait, as a surprise for his 70th birthday.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you Harvey Pekar:
Please check out the rest of the pieces in the project over at SmithMag.
There are lots of other amazing renditions of Mr. Pekar for you to feast your eyes on, and I’m quite sure you’ll be glad you did.
The comic I worked on with Molly Crabapple&John Leavitt for Marvel is now out!
I contributed coloring and lettering to their fabulous art and writing.
I went to SDCC. I still haven’t quite recovered-almost a month later.
So many friends of mine-from so many different geographical locations, and so many different times in my life– were in attendance. The amount of things and places and people I managed to see and do is nothing short of dizzying, so I’ll do my best to summarize.
The anthology I was in last year, Comic Book Tattoo, won an Eisner award for Best Anthology!
How cool is that?
I’m really honored to have been in this book at all, and it’s extra exciting to have the book be recognized in such a big way.
I spent a bunch of days in a red wig, doing whirlwind hangouts with more friends than I could shake a stick at. Much love to my ever-present entourage of SF/Portland/LA dudefriendhotelmates. Shoutouts to the CBLDF crew, Heartbreak Comics, Dr. Sketchy’s, & 5Lights! I love all of you fiercely!!!
