How You Draw: How Does Art Affect Story?
Saturday, May 8th, 9:30 – 10:15am, Learning Center 1
People make comics to tell stories. But how are those stories affected by the art style they’re told in? What are the ways that art style change the content, audience, and storytelling for a comic? Do artists choose their style, or does their style choose them? Featuring Dave Roman, Salgood Sam, Jim Rugg, James Turner, and Abby Denson. Moderated by Walter Dickinson.

Comics in Strange Places
Saturday, May 8th, 12:45 – 1:30pm, Learning Center 1
Everyone’s talking about their new graphic novel these days. But you can find comics in other places than books — newspapers, magazines, textbooks, and on the internet. How does the multiplicity of forms of presentation for comics affect their format and context? Featuring cartoonists Frank Cammuso, Chip Zdarsky, Danielle Corsetto, and Abby Denson. Moderated by MK Reed.

Dolltopia cupcake tour dates!

Friday, October 9th, 2009

tourimage.jpg

My new book Dolltopia is out! It’s a fun and quirky tale about dolls who are tired of being controlled by humans, so they start their own society, and you can read a preview here! It’s not exactly food related, BUT, my publisher, Green Candy Press, is sending me on a book tour with cupcakes! That’s right, a cupcake tour! In October and November I will be making numerous stops in New York, New England, Canada, and the West Coast, with local cupcakes at each appearance. I am having my friends at Cupcakes Take the Cake help me with recommendations along the way (though some choices may be dictated purely by location and if they can deliver). I am open to readers’ cupcake suggestions as well. My intention is to photograph them along the way and blog about them as the tour happens. Come out and meet me, check out Dolltopia, and have a cupcake! Also at each stop, if you bring in a made-over or punked out doll, you could win a free autographed copy of Dolltopia! Tour dates below: (more…)
