I’m thrilled to announce my latest project - The City Sweet Tooth!
It’s a column in comic strip format that will feature profiles of New York City’s finest pastry shops, bakeries, cafes, and unique treats. One of the best things about living in New York is the availability of one of a kind (sometimes legendary) desserts and snacks. The column will cover places both new and old, famous and less well-known. Those who know me know I love New York and I love sweets, so this a dream project!
The strip is on The L Magazine’s website and a shorter version is in today’s issue of the print magazine available for free all over New York City. Just look for the little orange boxes with a letter L on on it, it’s “The Free Issue”.

by the way: www.citysweettooth.com is under construction and on the way!

I’ve been remiss in posting about this and it’s last minute, but May 14 is the cut-off for Lulu Award nominations!

Anyone can nominate just go here:

gURL Comix is a good contender for Lulu of the Year, they post loads of comics by female cartoonists including myself (2007 Lulu of the Year ^_^) and last year’s Kim Yale award winner Rachel Nabors.

Manic D Press is also a good choice, as is editor Jennifer Joseph for “Women of Distinction”. There are a lot of awesome ladies out there deserving of your votes!

Was a lot of fun. Matt had a signing at Rocketship and was mobbed by kids. I have a feeling Saltwater Taffy will be a big hit! Here is a cute pic of Matt I took. He’ll have more posted at his site soon I’m sure…

Also here’s a fun pic of me with cupcakes at my bff Xtine’s wedding. Cupcakes!

I just noticed the wfmu blog linked over here since they’re posting their “Great Moments in WFMU History” cards. I did one illustrating a Joe Strummer related story.  Check it out here!
