Reading and rocking

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Been busy catching up on filing (taxes, etc.), reading, and rocking out. Books I’ve been reading: Little Vampire by Joann Sfar, Garage Band by Gipi, Steady Beat by Rivkah, and Love is a Mixed Tape by Rob Sheffield, to name a few.



I also got to see Skum City, a fun new punk band. Yay! Also drawing and writing away ^_^

The greatest book of all time!

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Ok, maybe the greatest cat photo book of all time. John Lund’s Life According to Maude: A Photo Expose. This enjoyably campy photo book follows a sassy cat who likes to wear vintage hats, hang out at the salon, eat chocolates, drink cocktails, and spend days at pastry shops and cafes. My kind of kitty! Buy it! It’s genius!

AWP Book Fair was fun!

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

I was there for a short time, but it was great seeing Jennifer of Manic D Press and hanging with Shannon O’Leary. I signed a book for my youngest fan ever (with his parents’ approval of course). Kids love Tough Love’s bright book cover! I picked up a few books from the McSweeney’s table, the best part of bookfairs is the discounted or free books. Also got to see Gavin of Small Beer Press. A fun time all-around! Dropped off my art for the HPGRP Art Fair and watched Doctor Who and Torchwood. A good Saturday!

Here are some great pics from the Zeus Comics signing! If you’re ever in Dallas you must go to this Eisner winning shop! That’s me with owner Richard and staff-member, Barry. I hope to hang out with them again soon!

Also, while in Dallas I ate at some cool places Cosmic Cafe (vegan funky Indian / fusion) and Mia’s (Tex-Mex), plus brunch at Cafe Brazil. All recommended!

Interview on grrrlzines.net

Friday, January 25th, 2008

I was just interviewed for this cool site grrrlzines.net, run by some amazing women in Europe, it’s a comprehensive guide to feminist zines worldwide. This interview is different than previous ones since it focuses more on the self-published zines I’ve done over the years and also feminism, which hasn’t cropped up in many of my interviews. Enjoy!
