Today, I finished and published the essay about Virginia Woolf’s diary that I’ve been working on for a while. This is the same essay that I’ve posted excerpts from for a few months, but now it’s more polished. Read it here. I already wrote for the Comics Journal about my favorite comics published in 2019, but […]
December
January 1920 – The day after my birthday in fact I’m 38. Well, I’ve no doubt I’m a great deal happier than I was at 28; and happier today than I was yesterday. Virginia’s first novel, The Voyage Out, was published when she was 33. Mrs.Dalloway, arguably her first real masterpiece, was published when she was 43, […]

August 1922 – I am beginning Greek again, and must really make out some plan: today 28th: Mrs Dalloway finished on Sat. 2nd Sept: Sunday 3rd to Friday 8th start Chaucer: Chaucer – that chapter, I mean, should be finished by Sept. 22nd. And then? Shall I write the next chapter of Mrs. D. – […]
Some Links
Here are a few things I’ve been up to recently: I have a piece in Inkbrick no. 10, which is sadly the last issue of the anthology for now. My strip is an adaptation of a work by Yoko Ono, similar to my piece in Warmer. My 2017 zine about Kevin Huizenga’s Ganges series was […]
October
Jul/Aug 1926 (undated?) – I shall here write the first pages of the greatest book in the world. This is what the book would be that was made entirely solely and with integrity of one’s thoughts. Suppose one could catch them before they became”works of art”? Catch them hot and sudden as they rise in […]
September
I’ve decided that over the next few months I’ll use this space to chip away at the work I’ve been meaning to do for a zine about Virginia Woolf (described in more detail last month, when I also did a bit on writing on this). So without further preamble, here are a few more excerpts […]
August
I’ve written a few times over the past several months about Virigina Woolf quotes that have been helpful to me. I’m no2 beginning some early work towards what I think will be a zine about what cartoonists can learn from Virginia Woolf’s process and thoughts about her own work. She was a micropublisher! She only […]
July
I recently read Kramers Ergot 10, Sundays with Walt and Skeezix, and Yummy Fur #1. I had a series of overlapping thoughts about these comics that I’ll try to articulate here. I suppose it started with Rick Altergott and Johnny Ryan. I found both of their strips in Kramers 10 utterly unappealing and uninteresting. Kim […]
Yearly 2019
I thought I’d talk a bit about the new comic I’ve published and which you can buy here. It’s over 100 pages and full color. This is the second issue of the annual series that I hope to publish forever. I wrote last year about the premise of this project. This year’s issue is similar […]
June
I don’t have much news this month, so maybe I’ll just share that the new issue of Yearly is now available for sale. I’ll get around to ‘promoting’ it eventually but right now I’m too focused on new projects. Haha. For better or worse, sharing my work widely becomes less and less interesting to me. […]
