Research for a project led me to once again encounter Austin English’s old Twenty Questions with Cartoonists blog. If you’re not familiar, he asks a uniform set of interview questions to different cartoonists. They’re good questions, and for several of the people on the blog I would say this is among the most interesting interview […]

Still moving forward…on to a second draft now. Throwing out more pages than I would prefer. So it goes. This one will be 40-50 pages probably, paced nice and slow.

I am more actively aware of my own privilege as straight/white/cis/male thanks in no small part to discussions happening in the comics community. I don’t mean to say I wasn’t aware of this previously, or that I only relate to the world through comics. I also recognize that there are many problematic things being said […]

Thousands of self proclaimed artists, swirly through the void of Tumblr, wondering what to do with their new easy sense of legitimacy. Will they focus their attention on creating easy derivative stylized work, or will they give themselves the opportunity and challenge to create something that reflects and reflects upon their subjectivity with undeniable passion?
