A comic about how we got to where we are today… Down below, I put all the references I used for each panel and a couple I didn’t end up using. You can download a PDF here for printing/sharing however you want: Sousanis No Lines Small Update: thanks to my Brazilian publisher Rogério de Campos,…
My return to comics-making as an adult was prompted by an invitation to be in a political art show just before the 2004 US Presidential election, and a follow up exhibition right after. Those two pieces, “Security” https://spinweaveandcut.com/security/ and in particular, “Show of Hands,” really launched my approach to making comics that would define my…
Pleased to share word that I’ve just created a comic on accessible comics in collaboration with my colleague Emily Beitiks for MIT Technology Review. It’s in print, and they have an interactive version of it on their site here: https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/06/28/1074341/comics-beyond-sight/. Emily and I created an audio accessible version, and you can see the full comic and access…
The last year or two my family has been getting around San Francisco more and more on our bikes and our car use has shrunk drastically. We’ve gotten involved in supporting efforts to make more streets closed to cars and safe for human-powered transit of all sorts, including most prominently the now permanent JFK Promenade…
I made a thing in response to the past four years and the hopeful shift represented by January 20, 2021. If you’d like to download, PDF is here. It is a successor to my 2016 election comic “WE.” I don’t get a lot of time to draw these days on my book, let alone for…
Sharing here my quadrennial presidential election comic for 2020 “ING…” I made the first of these political comics back in 2004 (see “Security” here and “Show of Hands” here), and that occasion prompted my full-on return to comics-making as an adult. As a result, I’ve ended up doing one each election season since. This one…
Down below, you can find a number of recent video interviews I’ve done and other news. But first, I’m sharing a slightly revised version of my comic “No Sides” that I’d originally posted back in early May, as well as a version of it created for mobile devices. While I won’t go into all the…
A bunch of things about my teaching below, but first: I made a new short comic that has something to do with now and the last several years. It’s about wrestling with divisions and connections. The pared down approach came out of something I was trying with my students on zoom – exercises to get…
Lots of news to start the new year! First up – Unflattening is now available in Chinese, via Gingko Books! They did a wonderful job – this and the Korean edition are the only two translations thus far to have a different cover made from repurposed interior art. While I’m partial to the cover as…
Publication news below with a new comic(!), but first some words about upcoming talks! I’ll be in NYC this coming week for AERA – and excited to reteam with my colleague artist & drawing professor Andrea Kantrowitz and dance professor Kathryn Ricketts to do a session on drawing, dance, and comics. (My individual component of…
