So, as I anxiously await submissions for the next issue of GRAPH(feeties) [extended deadline July 17, 2016], here’s a one-page take-away I made in April for a writing workshop. I did a session on using drawing to help yank words onto the page, for those times when they aren’t...

It’s getting close to June 15, the deadline for issue 2 of GRAPH(feeties) [hint, hint SUBMIT!] Since launching issue 1, I’ve tabled at an underground publishers convention, designed a logo/stamp/stickers and bookmark, met lots of awesome zinesters, had GRAPH(feeties) distributed through Wasted Ink Zine Distro (wonderful shop/zine community in...

These past few years I’ve been working on a project that is now a completed manuscript of cartoon/verse memoir about my friendship with Luna. It’s her birthday today. She would’ve turned 55 had someone not taken her life when she was fifteen. That her life was taken is not...

This summer I’ve spent most of my time drawing and today I figured out I’m ten drawings from finishing the 210 drawings for my book. Maybe I’m procrastinating by writing this blog post, so I can prolong the drawing process and postpone the next phase of book making…finding a...

Rummaging around looking for a way to procrastinate, I came across a small set of single-panel cartoons I called “Both of Me.” As I recall, they were loosely based on me and the smarter part of my brain that I depicted in the cartoons as a cat companion. So,...

I made the six panel comic (below) for the program of this year’s Mothers Who Write reading at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMOCA) put on by Amy Silverman and Deborah Sussman. I took their Mothers Who Write workshop in 2010 and have been reading at the May...
