The Heavy Hand Release Party and Facemelterz

This Thursday (Nov. 4th, from 6 til 10pm) is the official release party for The Heavy Hand! I will be at Floating World Comics, signing books and celebrating the publication of my full length book, as well as the release of Zack Soto's anthology Studygroup 12 #4 (including some pages by yours truly), and everything will be drenched in liquid face drippings from the Tim Goodyear curated Facemelterz art exhibit (check out this list of artists: Brian Skiff, Cameron Hawkeye, Jose Angeles, Birch Cooper, Jason Leivian, Tim Root, Bobby Madness, Tony Remple, Jason Overby, Sean Aaberg, John Orloff, Jon Vermilyea, and of course, more C. Cilla stuff...eyeball overload); please come down, buy some books, have a drink, and let the flesh flow off your skull.

I have drawn some Twin Peaks inspired pages for an art show at Guapo Comics & Coffee, opening this Friday the 29th, curated by Sean Christensen. I'm sure you'll want to see these local artists' tributes to a great TV show, & check out a top comics shop, plus, they are showing the pilot episode!

A.P.E. in S.F.

All-right! I am heading to San Francisco this weekend for the A.P.E. comics convention. I'll be selling The Heavy Hand at the Sparkplug Comic Books booth #118. I will also have a new issue of Stun Nuts (#7) & some other minicomics, Dylan Williams, Renee French, Julia Wertz, Tim Root & Tim Goodyear will be there, so please stop by and say hello & buy some comics!
I will also have comics in two anthologies debuting at this show: Pictured here is the wraparound letterpress cover of Tim Root's zine Barf Water, including work by Jason Overby, Tim Goodyear, Bobby Madness, and other weirdos, including a centerfold by Jim Blanchard and some bonus stuff! You can't miss this!

The second anthology is Zack Soto's long awaited Studygroup 12 #4! I'm excited to see this book, full of art by Farel Dalrymple, Vanessa Davis, Amy Kuttab, Ian Sundahl, Blaise Larmee, hell, too many to list, just click on the link & check it out! Zack will be at booth #420, of course...
