Did Comics Workbook the Magazine give up on printing comics? Looks as if #6 (like #5) will be all text pieces. I liked the way #4 had a bunch of short strips.
It’s interesting, some people really liked the comics being included and others not at all. We decided to try going all text for a few issues (#3 also had no comics) for a few reasons. First, it’s harder to edit comics than text, and while it’s important to let people do their own thing and […]
Riding the tail of Derik’s question: Would you tell us a little more about how specific influences play a part in your work and process? You’ve mentioned Mondrian, shoujo and shonen before, what about them do you find yourself referencing?

A structure where panel size and shape became integral to the work seemed a logical next step after a long time using primarily grids, where […]
Why is Comics Workbook Magazine so short and printed on shitty paper? You might actually make some sales if you put a little work into the presentation. Or just make a Kickstarter, stop whining about how you’re losing money.

Are you reading any manga these days? I remember reading the first comic of yours i saw and thinking you were manga influenced, but maybe I just imagined it.
Yes! I’ve read a bunch of manga lately. Reread all my Yokoyama books. Travel is the best but they’re all so good. Pink by Kyoko Okazaki. I like how fast and loose it’s drawn; it’s interesting how that sometimes works really well but some panels are off the mark completely. Paradise Kiss by Ai Yazawa […]
