paper cuts

I've been busy but not with drawing comics lately. I've been mostly working on making the backgrounds for a new book I'm making. The pictures are going to be done all in paper cuts. Here's the start of one of them:

I will share more as I go.

In practice for that I've made a lot of other paper cuts for different projects I've been doing

Here's a birthday card I made for the little girl I nanny for:

And here's a flier for a show at our house coming up:

I'm sure I'll get some more writing and drawing done soon, but so far this has been keeping me very busy.

Who knew grey construction paper was so hard to find!!!

Some New Things

The Chicago Zine Fest is over. It was a pretty amazing weekend and made me really feel like part of something in Chicago. It was wonderful to see so many talented people able to get together in one place and share what they love doing. It was very inspiring. Here's the little daily comic I drew about it:

In other news, I'm going on a little mini-tour with my good friend Paul Baribeau. This is our tentative schedule:

03/27 Chicago

03/38 Grand Rapids, MI

03/30 Cleveland, OH

03/31 Columbus, OH

04/01 Bloomington, IN

04/03 Louisville, KY

04/05 Milwaukee, WI

If we're coming your way, please come say hi to me, I'll be at the table with my books, and maybe doing a reading here and there. Should be a lot of fun. I'm very excited to leave and city and hang out with Paul for awhile.

Here's the flier for the show at my house that I made:

Thanks everyone who came to the zine fest and supported us! It really meant a lot!!
