Zeus Comics pics!

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

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!

Stardust

I rented Stardust over the weekend and it was really great! I’d meant to see it in the theater but time flew by. It had a similar vibe to The Princess Bride and was purely enjoyable. Check it out!
