This Saturday, I’ll be selling my books at the MCBA Book Arts Festival.
10 am to 5 pm.

Hope to see you there!

James Sime at the Isotope Comic Shop has a rather large gallery of toilet seat artwork that lines the topmost part of his store. When I was at the shop this last month, he was kind enough to give me a toilet seat of my own to draw on.

So this is what I came up with:

Special thanks to Pat Callahan for all the help painting this sucker black and the screen printing. This was definitely a collaborative effort.

The other toilet seats on display at the Isotope can be seen on this flickr page.

I’m back from the Alternative Press Expo in California and I brought with me a little surprise. While at the show I was awarded that trophy pictured above sitting on the bed stand in my hotel room in San Francisco.

All I can say is that I’m very happy to have won and that James Sime from the Isotope really knows how to throw a party. I can’t say that I’ll ever win another award for my comics again, but I can’t image feeling as good about winning another as I did when I was first handed the Istotope Award.

Sarah went with me to APE this year. So she’s got a proper roundup over at The Daily Cross Hatch.

This Saturday is the Pinewood Derby Art Car show at the Pink Hobo Gallery. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Festivities begin at 7PM at 507 East Hennepin Ave.

I’ve been looking online at some of the cars that are already finished. To be honest, they look just amazing. These cars are clever, attractive, ambitious and classy. Like a really good date.

MY car is none of those things. I didn’t put nearly the time and care into my entry. I guess my car is more like a quick and easy date. In other words, it’s FAST.

Check out these slow pokes:

Mitch Loidolt’s car looks like he took a time machine, went back in time to the very first Cub Scout race, STOLE the winning car and then brought it back to 2009. Beautiful. But look at those wheels. SLOW. Next!

Kevin Cannon’s car is the car I wish I had made. That’s all I have to say. He’s a right bastard, and he can eat my dust as I race to the victory line.

Yui Tanabe’s racer looks like a real car. How do you do that? But you know what? Real cars like that are not good at racing. They’re good for driving grandmothers around. And grandmothers like you to drive slowly.

Brett Von Schlosser’s car is the kind of car a true racer like me worries about. I’m thinking he has buzz saws and an oil slick dispenser somewhere on that thing. I mean, I can see the weights under that car! That’s not regulation!

My car has a face wood-burned onto it. A face! Look at how the hair is blowing behind that face. It’s because that car is so damn speedy! Plus, there are two (TWO!) coats of shellac over the entire body. That is because everyone knows: shellac=speed.

Hope to see you at the finish line, suckers!

Prepare yourself. It’s coming. You can’t stop it.

Here’s some photos of the new poster by Tom Kaczynski (Illustration), myself (design) and Pat Callahan (printing). These bad boys will be going up around town over the course of this month. If you’re interested in having one, or know of a great place to put one up, just let me know.
