Writing in depth on a website somehow feels very intimate. I spent the last month churning out pages for the comic I’m working on. I have a draft completed. Parts of it are good, parts of it need significant work, parts of it stand somewhere between those two extremes in a vast middle ground where […]

Introduction In the course of working my Calvino comic, Under False Pretenses, I was happy to reread Six Memos for the Next Millennium. This slim volume collects a series of lectures that Calvino planned to deliver in 1985, though he died before doing so or indeed before finishing the work – he only completed five […]

The simple question, the meta-question, the obvious question is how do you organize your life and your schedule and your thinking and your process such that you not only continue making comics but improve the quality of those comics.  I’ve detected a small shift in my thinking around these issues, which I’ve struggled to articulate […]

Yearly 2023 is available for preorder. I need to finish it! I’m close, just need to add a final few touches. Maybe your orders will help motivate me to do so. This issue is in the same format as last year, 5.25 x 8 and full color and filled with a few different stories. I […]

I’m excited to say that I have a new book coming out with Fieldmouse Press. Together & Apart  is a 296 page hardcover that includes biographies of Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Each biography stands alone but they also talk to each other and say something cumulative about art and life and love. […]

A quick summary, for you and for myself, of what I’ve been up to this year. Like everyone, I’ve been reminded by recent events of the unpredictability and unreliability of social media sites. I’ll still be using Instagram occasionally and I’m toying with revisiting Tumblr too. Otherwise, you can find me here and on the […]

Jake Grubman, proprietor of the excellent online shop All the Old Poisons, and I started a podcast. It’s called Off Register. The first episode is an interview with Madeleine Jubilee Saito, because of course when you start a podcast you begin by interviewing a friend. Get your feet wet. Ease in slowly. This episode is […]

A tongue-in-cheek title for a serious idea: that by thinking carefully about comics through the lens of repetition we can get to some interesting places. The following are some initial notes that I hope to further develop in the future. REPETITION IN COMICS, GENERALLY Since storytelling comes out of an oral tradition, repetition is embedded […]

I’m happy–and relieved!–to have finished translating another part of this long Fabrice Neaud interview. There’s a strong focus here on Neaud’s feelings around depictions of other people in his work, an issue that attracted significant criticism following the publication of Journal 3 and which even has legal implications. These thorny issues led, for example, to […]

Hi. I’ve spent nearly a year revising Ghosts, a story that originally appeared in Yearly 2018 and 2019, into a single, cohesive work. After some consideration I’ve decided to serialize this new version of Ghosts online. You can read the first chapter now, and I’ll post the remaining six chapters on a biweekly schedule. You […]
