Happy New Year everybody! Check out this short interview on the cool site Girls Read Comics Too!

If you don’t know Drawing Words & Writing Pictures, it’s an amazing book and website by Jessica Abel and Matt Madden about comics craft which is also a great textbook. I found it indispensable for teaching college classes on comics writing, that’s for sure! I was invited to write a post for their site about my experiences with manga and it’s impact on my work. If you’ve ever wondered about the details of my involvement with manga and Japan, and exhibiting at a comics show there, here’s your chance to read all about it. Please check it out!

Recently I was included in this nice write-up on food and illustration from Brazil’s leading paper, Folha de S.Paulo, the article is by Diogo Gomez, and great photography by Gilberto Tadday! We did the photo shoot at La Bergamote, a lovely French pastry place in Chelsea!

March is CBR’s Month of LGBT Comics, and Dolltopia got a fantastic write-up! Also, Book of Boy Trouble 2 got a nice review as well. Loads of great books are being covered, so check them out!

Check out this nice piece on the event I did with Tim Fish in Amsterdam!  Abby Denson and Tim Fish in Amsterdam Guerrillageek.com 2/9/2011
