What else you got for me?

I do wish I could get into a fandom that isn't me and the dozen people who also listen to this one audiodrama. However, since I spent the weekend listening to a playlist of global metal music, then accidentally stumbled into a near complete collection of Avon Fantasy Readers and Weird Tales, I suspect very little will change.

On the weekend of April 26th, I'll be in Chicago for the annual C2E2 convention setting up at the NATIONAL CARTOONISTS SOCIETY booth! This will be my first time in Chicago, and I am super excited! I will, of course, have copies of the Finding Dee trade paperbacks and more with me, but I wanted to do something... special for the show. And I wanted to have something with a sketch cover, as I love those. As such, I came up with THIS!!! It's a new, 40-page, FULL COLOR comic collecting all of the homages and parodies I've done over the last few years such as this strip homaging Jim Davis' GARFIELD! (Seen here in COLOR for the book for the first time! Woot!) And for the cover, I wanted it to be an homage onto itself, and so did it goofing on the old "Marvel Masterworks" covers that I used to love back in the late 80s. They had covers similar to this, with a really cool, embossed, gold-foil border around images of the classic covers of the comics collected within. For THIS, it seemed like the PERFECT way to frame a blank area for custom sketches! For NOW, this book will be exclusive to my convention and/or in-store appearances, but if there's a demand, it may pop up in other stuff later. I'm really happy with how it came out, and if you're gonna be in Chicago this April, I hope to see you at the show!

If you're in the Chicago area, highly recommend seeing Gio Swaby: Fresh Up at the Art Institute. Some truly beautiful textile work.

My work operates in the context of understanding love as liberation—a healing and restorative force. These pieces celebrate personal style, vulnerability, strength, beauty, individuality, and imperfections.
