The CCS 08 class is special group. Their dedication to their work and the comics community is really something to behold. I left the review session inspired to do my own work.
After the reviews, we held our second ever CCS commencement ceremony. It was intimate and sincere. And I got an MFA. What more can you ask for?
Dennis and I both have comic deadlines on the horizon, so we've spent a lot of time drawing together. It's a habit we fell out of, and I realize now how much I missed it. Audio books and This American Life keep us going. We're currently listening to The Lives of Christopher Chant. I'm digging it.
In addition to MoCCA preparations, I drew up this illustration for Make a Zine, a book coming out from Microcosm. Backgrounds and perspective were never my strong suit, so it was a bit of a challenge.
In case you're curious, it's the Zine Archive Publishing Project in Seattle, one of the best zine libraries I've been to.

The Lives of Christopher Chant! Awesome! That's the book I read when I was little that turned me off of Harry Potter because they sounded so similar (and Chant came first). Sweet! It's definitely one of my favorite childhood books. I've been listening to a ton of This American Life lately too, digging through their archives. Have you heard the one about the girl who was pen pals with Manuel Noriega? I think that one's my favorite.
Hey there,
I'm making a zine about the DIY community in Seattle, and I wanted to have a page about ZAPP in it. Could I use this drawing you did of ZAPP? The zine is going to be given out for free to the community, and you would be credited. Thanks!
