I've had a great time in the Bay Area for the past 4 years and I will definitely be missing Oakland, San Francisco and Berkeley. But I am super excited to get back to the Northwest, which I've been missing ever since I ended my 5 year stint in Eugene back in 2008. Get ready Seattle, here I come!
I still have a small pile of 'San Francisco Bay Comics' that have never been published anywhere, which I will either be running on here or Uptown Almanac in the coming weeks/months. Until then, please enjoy these SF Bay Comics that you have probably already read.
The Bad Mitten Orchestre is releasing their new album at the WOW Hall (Eugene, OR) on Saturday, if you live in Portland or Eugene or any point inbetween - you should go! I was lucky enough to do the art for the new album by this very talented group of musicians. So... go support them! They deserve it.
I dropped off copies of my new comics at Issues in Oakland, CA over the weekend, so
go get some! If you've never been, you need to go check out this shop, they've got an incredible collection of magazine titles - magazines that your wildest dreams haven't even thought of yet. Seriously, check them out.
If you're ever in Olympia, WA and need a caffeine fix, I recommend stopping by Dino's Coffee Bar. I drew a cartoon for Joel, the owner, and he mailed me a bunch of beans! It's really good coffee too, thanks Dino!
This is what I drew up...
This is what I got in the mail...
This is what the coffee looks like on my drawing table...
While I was up in Seattle before Olympia's Comic Fest I intruded on the Intruder team's weekly drawing partay. I was lucky enough to get Kazimir Strzepek, Max Clotfelter, and Aidan Fitzgerald to throw down some pencil on a one pager that I then added my own pencil to and later inked and colored at home in Berkeley. This was a late night, beer fueled drawing party, so take that into account while silently judging the merits of this work...
