I had a great experience printing this book with Print Ninja. If you'd like a copy you can get it on my website or Etsy. Also... I'll be wt Non Fictin Comics Fest in Burlington Vt. This weekend. AND MICE. In Boston Dec. 6 and 7!
We printed Jerel Dye's The Cycle with an uncoated, stucco-textured cover paper, to introduce readers to the kinetic experience of an accordion comic. Check out more of Jerel Dye's work on bsky or on tumblr @drawjereldraw. Got a crazy idea you want to make reality? Check us out!

While we’re at it: from my 2018 comics essay “About Face,” laying out the normalization of fascist presence via pop culture & consumer goods. It’s also the central chapter of SAVE IT FOR LATER. popula.com/2019/02/24/a...

Science Comics: Computers comes out today!!! I am so excited that this book is finally out there in the real world! It's been a long journey, and I want to give a shout out to Perry and Penelope, what a fun team! And thanks for First Second for believing in this book! Get your copy today!

One of the great joys I had working on this book was the chance to really tap into my cartoony side. All the goofy, silly, ridiculous stuff was there in the script and Perry and Penelope really let me go wild! Aside from just teaching, I think this book is really funny!
Computers is out TOMORROW!!!

Hey, I finished this mural! I actually finished it about 2 weeks ago, but I've been so busy I hadn't had the time to post about it. It's going to be installed sometime later this year at Level99 in Natick, MA.

Finally had the chance to finish off this gouache painting that I started a few weeks back. I'm pretty pleased with it!

Another round of marker tests. I got kinda garish with the colors, but I like 'em anyway!

I recently had the pleasure of digging back into marker drawing. I've got to get my chops back up for a project (can't talk about it yet!). Here are the first three practice drawings I did. #marker #drawing #penandink #scifi #copic #spaceship #doodle #artpractice

Another batch of robot doodles. Which one should I turn into a gouache painting? #drawing #sketchbook #doodle #robot #scifiart #comicsart #comicsartist #conceptart

New gouache painting. With birds! I'm trying to do more without the linework and just letting the colors sit next to each other.
