Shot on the Roof

Yesterday I was visited by photographer Seth Kushner to shoot/interview me for his upcoming NYC Graphic Novelists book; we went up to the roof of my building to grab its gorgeous vista as a background:

More shots of me and other NYC cartoonists at Seth’s photoblog now.

You can also find me kicking back at Artists Alley Table E-11; I’ll have all manner of things with my artwork on them there, including a malnourished young child whose entire body I’ve tattooed from head to toe with the only existing copy of Act Three of “KELLY.”

Improvements to the Machine

A very helpful KELLY IS LOVE member (thanks Giles!) pointed out that the Act Two archive of “KELLY” stopped abruptly… leaving Max and Theresa in donkey-punchus interruptus. I’ve reorganized the entire Archive into buttons, restoring the pacing of the original micro-installments for added thrills:

I’ve also made added the ShareThis app across the entire site, allowing you to fave any page or post till your heart explodes without even leaving the page.

My Turntablet [A Modified Install]

For the last 6 weeks, I’ve been communicating with Antonio Gonella, designer of the Turntablet, a third-party aluminum rack for the Wacom Cintiq 21UX that mounts it directly onto your drafting table to allow a full 360º range of motion. The thing is, I’d just scored a beautiful Trident table on Craigslist and was hesitant to bore a 15-17.25″ hole through the center of its surface in case I want to use to table for good old-fashioned analog art. I emailed Antonio my concerns and he suggested an altered installation, of which I am apparently the first. Armed with a 2″ hole saw bit and the included bolts and drill bit, I totally sexed up my workspace in approx. 30 minutes. Click pic for slideshow.

Many thanks, Antonio; this install solution for the Turntablet has planted me in the studio space of my dreams.

Back from Comic-Con

Comic-Con was a smashing good time, loads of new friends and crusty old ones, signings and demos and a general electricity in the air that was more palpable than recent years. Everyone was so excited to see the preview booklet we were signing; it was like Anthony and I were the only ones with the secret knowledge of how much hotter the finished novel is… the anticipation leading up to November is probably going to be hardest on your favorite comic artist, truth be told.

Upon touching down in Brooklyn, there was a brief disco nap and then Lil and I pulled the ripcord on our sweltering Park Slope studio, landing in our bigger and airier new joint in South Williamsburg. As you can see, web access is back and new “KELLY” is already cooking; stay tuned my beautiful ones.

That pop-culture champuru that is the San Diego Comic-Con is nearly upon us, and I’m making a handful of appearances at Grand Central Publishing, our SHOOTING WAR publisher, as well as doing some live demos on Wacom’s interactive Cintiq pen display that I use to make these brightly-colored comics you treasure so deeply in your hearts.

This Mon: A Midsummer Night’s Scene

This Monday night (7/17), I’ll be one of seven artists taking part in A Midsummer Night’s Scene, a little art+music happening in downtown NYC. I’ll have 5 art pieces on display of varying sizes. The space is a funky little pizzeria called L’Asso, so there will be free pizza and beer. Live music supplied by the *legendary* Cedric IM Brooks with vocal stylistics by our own JahFurry.
