I have a new edition available of "Seeing Scabby," my 2021 fanzine essay about the giant inflatable rat balloon used by striking unions. Thanks to Tanline Printing in Tucson, Scabby is now a 2-color, full Riso zine (in flat gold and purple).

In addition to projects at the Applied Cartooning Lab (appliedcartooning.org, exciting things coming!), I'll be working on a new graphic biography of Walter Benjamin, zines, and ongoing research on the changing relations of production for graphic artists during the desktop publishing revolution.
