SXSW just posted this video of their tote bags being stuffed, and as a proud papa, I can see my design veryveryvery tiny at the head of the “Interactive” line; it’s a cool 00:39 to see behind-the-scenes work, and know that all of those people went “guuuh” when they saw my artwork:
My contribution to Dean Haspiel’s excellent Next Door Neighbor series is a more experimental piece I wrote last year entitled Red Plastic. This was a chance for me to draw more effortless cartooning and I had a blast with it; you can read it for free here:
My newest comic “YES WE WILL” is online now at Tor.com, who blurb the comic as: “It’s 2012, and President Obama finally delivers on his campaign promise.” Have a read and sun yourself in the blazing birth-fires of a new world.
Dearest reader, I’d like to share some photos snapped by the artful lens of Seth Kushner in anticipation of 08′s January 6 release. Seth and I met at Grand Central Terminal in New York during weekday lunch-hour, capture a NY journalists-of-past vibe but with a modern touchscreen twist:

My daily writing/drawing regimen used to be a concentrated effort of discipline and time-management, a focus/release of fire… but it now feels more like an involuntary system of my organism, a second heartbeat that sits above my skull and throbs ideas to me in secret code through my dreams and quiet waking moments.
