Jimmy & I had such an amazing time at SPX, we're a little sad that it's over! We met so many great folks! (I feel foolish that this + a picture of a leaf shaped like an "H" are the only photos I took)
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon! This silly little strip is my submission to Atomic Books' Mutant! #3, which they'll be releasing for Free Comic Book Day. Check out the previous issues here.
Spoiler alert: she dead! I actually really love Sailor Moon. I collected the comics, and copied the drawings voraciously (there's probably a seriously embarrassing sketchbook full of them somewhere). It was definitely a huge influence...and I might still watch the show.......?

EVERYONE: READY YOURSELVES FOR FIGHT FROGS
(please donate if you can, especially if you want to pre-order a copy -and of course you do-, and share!)
Hi everyone! My new comic Fight Frogs is almost done and ready to premier at this year’s Small Press Expo! It’s a story about 3 frog-men brothers who live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, party hard, and FIGHT!
I’m currently running a Kickstarter to get the book funded, and would be totally stoked if you’d like to contribute to it! Click here for more details, and to pre-order your copy today!

"Suzy, do you know anything about…witches?"
Suspiria, a masterpiece by Dario Argento. This trippy, amazingly surreal horror film is the subject of my newest tshirt design for Pizza Party Printing's upcoming movie night at the Ottobar. They'll be showing not only Suspiria, but the 1989 horror, The Church (paired with a fucking metal shirt by Jimmy Giegerich), so if you’re in Baltimore at the end of the month, be there! Immerse yourself in blood and beer (and the music of the one, the only Goblin). It’s gonna be spooky.
The Suspiria shirt is up for sale now at Pizza Party! Pick one up while you can!
Fantastic Tales II from Scout Books' Good Ink: American Shorts series just came out, and it features the short story I illustrated last year, "The Isle of Voices" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Other mini books in the set are "The Giant's Heart" by George MacDonald, illustrated by Lark Pien; and "Mowgli's Brothers" by Rudyard Kipling, illustrated by Rebecca Dart. This was a lot of fun to work on, and I loved the story I got assigned. Thanks to editor François Vigneault for including me in the series!
You can pick up the Fantastic Tales II set for $12 and check out all the other Good Ink: American Shorts sets from Scout Books here. All are illustrated beautifully by many talented artists and come in nicely-packaged mini-book form. They're all great little classics that are definitely worth revisiting.
spendin all day in the print shop. “Cauldrons & Casseroles” and covers!

The Warriors. is. my. favorite. movie. of. all. time.
This is my tshirt design for another Pizza Party Printing movie night at the Ottobar here in Baltimore. On Sunday, April 28th, they'll be presenting the best movie of all time, The Warriors, along with another best movie of all time, The Road Warrior so you'd best soldier over to this one. Admission (and pizza) is free as always, and BASEBALL TEES of my design as well as regular tees of Jimmy Giegerich's utterly rad Road Warrior shirt will be on sale. SO...
Come out to playy-ayyy!

I got to design another t-shirt for Pizza Party Printing, this time for one of my favorite moves ever: the excellent, ass-kicking valley girls vs. zombies, plus some space shit, PLUS Mary Woronov, Night of the Comet. Daddy mighta gotten you an Uzi, but you can get yourself this shirt on preorder here!
