I went to New York in February and drew a lot there. Here are some sketches: including a drawing of Lisette Model, a photographer with the Photo League. I learned about her at the The Radical Camera exhibit at The Jewish Museum - in this photo Model is in the middle of a crowded jazz club with a monstrous camera and a huge bag of flash bulbs.

Here's a variant cover I did for issue #5 of the Adventure Time comic book! Adventure Time is just the greatest show, I was so tickled to get to kind of wallow in it for a couple days. Only now I can't stop drawing all my own characters with Pen Ward chins.

I'm excited to be doing a lecture at the Society of Illustrators with two of my favorite cartoonists, Jillian Tamaki and Lisa Hanawalt. It's February 23rd, 6:30 - 8:30. You should come out if you can!

Drew and I just got back from France, where Drew's French publisher, Çá et Lá, was promoting Set to Sea in Angoulême and Paris. I did a lot of sketching: with Drew getting treated like a rock star I knew I had to step up my game.

An important note is that I know absolutely no French. But I felt some small pleasure at writing things in my sketchbook in French that I'd looked up in google translate.

Here's new piece for the New York Times, for Sunday Dialogue: Do We Live in a Less Deadly Time, or Not? Here are some alternate thumbs - the second one in particular I felt really pleased with when I drew it, but when I looked at it the next day I said "What was I thinking?"

Another GR2 Post-It Show (#7). A series of young white drunk people; I guess I wanted to draw a lot of simple, extreme emotions.

Drew put a bunch of my original art on the Little House site. If you order anything in the next couple days it ought to show up before Christmas!

I did the cover for this book of short stories (the AD was the extremely nice Christopher Moisan, coming out Summer 2012), and working on the thumbnails was a lot of fun. I was dicking around with drawing digitally for the first time, which is exciting once you stop trying to imitate brush or pen. These are some of the also-rans; the final piece is here.
