StumpTown Comics Festival 2010

Hello blog readers! It has been busy here in The Swamp, I'm getting ready for the Stumptown Comics Fest this coming weekend (April 24 & 25). I will be sharing a small table (#77) with the incredible Tim Root; we will be debuting our split mini-comic Hot Schlitz! I will also have a new issue of Stun Nuts (#6) and a new mini-sketchbook titled 20,000 Island, assorted older mini-comics, a handful of free (Stun Nuts #5) previews of The Heavy Hand, some reasonably priced original art, prints and whatever else I can dig up. Mr. Root will have a bunch of mini-comics & the rocking new Crappy Comics t-shirts for sale, plus fun surprises, I'm sure. Please stop by our table, say hello & get some comics!
Also (hopefully) debuting at this show will be four anthologies featuring my contributions: NOME (top jpeg on this post) edited by Tony Remple & Jason T. Miles, Wet Paint #2 assembled by Jason T. Miles, Bogwitch #3 (above jpeg) from Patrick Keck, and Studygroup 12 #4 (jpeg below) edited by Zack Soto. These folks will all be at the comics fest, look for them & buy some comics!I also still have art on display at both the Pony Club & the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, so check them out while you are enjoying the all-comics weekend in Portland. There is a post-show party at Pony Club Sunday night after the convention closes.

This Shit Is Happening

The catalog from the Funny (Not Funny) show in Detroit is now available directly from the publisher, Rotland Press.
It is also on Amazon.com and at some comics retailers, ask for it, isbn 9780615348711
It's a nice looking book, and includes my little-seen page This Shit Is Happening Right Now, and great stuff from David Sandlin, Tom Neely, Tim Hensley, and all of the other artists featured in the exhibit.
