Bezoar
on October 22, 2012
Hi y’all,
I put a new minicomic up in the Little House shop. It’s an anthology of comics about monsters, called Bezoar. Eleanor and I each have a short comic in it, and there’s several other stories by awesome artists (and friends) Patrick Dean, Joey Weiser, Michele Chidester, and David Mack, who edited the whole thing and drew the awesome cover.
Eleanor and I tried something interesting for this comic – we each picked a monster that the other person had already created, and wrote a story featuring that monster. Then I drew the story she wrote, and she drew mine. Here’s a page from my story:

Deux Mille Douze
on January 7, 2012
2011 was an exciting year in many ways (we bought a house!) but it wasn’t good for my productivity. Let’s get 2012 off to a better start!
Did you know that a French edition of Set to Sea came out? The French title is “En Mer,” out now from Editions Ca et La. I did all the new lettering and sound effects, so it should be a pretty good translation.
My lovely French publishers are flying me out to the Angouleme festival this year! I’ll be signing books both there and at several bookstores in Paris and elsewhere. I’m pretty thrilled – more details to come. I’ll also be signing this limited-edition print at Paris art shop Sergeant Paper.
It’s quite large, over 27 inches tall. The beasties are labelled in Latin, and most were culled from 16th century natural histories (Conrad Gesner, Ambroise Pare). It’s very immature to chuckle over such imaginative conceptions as the “sea monk” or the “marine pig,” let’s have some historical perspective about these things.
