Hey guys,

It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve got my hands on the very first copy of Ab4 mini comic. It’s got some of Zac’s best work to date (and hey, the story isn’t bad either!). I’ll also have a limited number of copies of Assholes #3, so if you’d like to buy one at SPX  in Rockville shoot me an e-mail and I’ll set it aside for you.

I’ll have much more at APE in San Francisco, the Long Beach Comic Con and MoCCA in NYC.

So, yes, I’ll be doing some shows in the months to come.

I’m a late convert to Scott Pilgrim. Oh, I bought volume 1 the day it came out waaaaay back in 2004. But I hated it. Hated, hated, hated it. I ignored all the Internet hype for the following volumes (but enjoyed O’Malley’s art enough to grab a sketch at SPX in 2008) and pretty much dismissed Scott Pilgrim as cutesy crap for people who had no idea what consisted a good story.

Fuck was I wrong.

Last summer, after much prodding and gushing, my buddy Dave lent me volumes 2-5. (The sixth and final issue came out last week). I’ve been rereading the series in anticipation of the upcoming movie, directed by Edgar Wright(”Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz”). I’ll be discussing each volume here as I reread.

Spoilers ahead and all that jazz… Read the rest of this entry »

It’s going to be a LONG time before this book sees the light of day. Unlike “Assholes” it’s not serialized. It’ll probably run about 200 pages or so– and considering it took me 3 years to do 75ish pages of “Assholes”… well, you do the math.

But I’m not doing grayscales with this one and hope to finish it sooner than that. For now, here’s a tease of the first panel I’ve drawn (although not the first panel of the book– this is page 175 or so– I’m drawing out of sequence). I’ll be posting more teases from time to time to give you an idea of what the book is about… but this is a major location in the story.

My friend Ashley made a video of us movie nerds hanging out on the 4th of July. I’m stealing this from her Web site.

Here’s an old favorite.

As previously mentioned I’ll be taking these with me to upcoming shows. I’ll probably do about 10 in total, more to come. Any requests? (Oh, and click on the Freaks and Geeks one to see it in a bigger size, since I went horizontal).

Side note- these are the guys who made the new “Monkey Island.” Possibility of a “Back to the Future” graphic adventure? FUCK. YES.

Hoverboards are real and Michael Jordan is rocking the Hitler.

Wish Andrew and me luck. Or, at least that the winning cartoon is way funnier than ours.

It’s really fucking funny. More on that as the summer develops, but I’d say it makes “Assholes” looks like “Schindler’s List.” Possibly the funniest thing we’ve ever done, but you’ll tell me.

In related news, all three issues of Assholes are on sale, so what are you waiting for?
