Mark your calendars, brothers: “Kelly” will finally be getting some play on Sunday, November 26 as part of downtown literary café KGB Bar’s “Graphic Novelists” series. I’ll be joined by my talented compatriots Elizabeth Genco, Margo Dabaie and fellow ACT-I-VATOR Nick Bertozzi. I’ll be there dramatically reading along with digital projections of “Kelly” and talking about how and why I do “Kelly” in an off-the-cuff and eminently-approachable manner, so save the date and shower me with your timeless affections.
KGB Bar is located at 85 East 4th Street (at 2nd Avenue) in NYC
LILLOT is the fashion-accessory work of Liliam Mayumi Higa, my lovely wife. As long as we’ve known each other, I’ve been watching her ideas about form and design meld and morph and they are ripe to escape into the world.

Steven Goldman, known to some as my younger brother, has had the good fortune and smarts to bring his critically-acclaimed comic series STYX TAXI back to the world on sister webcomic site The Chemistry Set, casting off its mortal self-published paper coil and joining the electronic placenta from which we all draw nourishment nowadays.
Beginning at the beginning, STYX TAXI will serialize all its previously-published stories to date (including our 2004 collaboration “Singalong”) and then drop the new stuff, beginning with a short piece written by Steven and illustrated by Hyeondo Park before rolling out towards the series’ not-yet-announced future.
Now is a good time to be a STYX fan.

“In my eyes, the battle is more signal vs. noise,” Goldman says. “The world seems to run on cotton candy and layers of endless illusion/delusion. So creating palpable works that mean something truly serves the common good of upping the desire and ultimately the demand for real culture. After all, isn’t creativity an evolutionary mechanism?”
