Ok, I haven’t quite finished the chapter when I’d hoped. This page on multimodality kept asking for more thinking, and then more… I finished last week, and was hopeful to finish the remaining two before posting all together, but because of travel (see below) I won’t quite finish them till next week, so posting this…
Two weekends ago, I was pleased to participate in the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art’s annual festival. I had a great time meeting new people, talking about my work, and checking out other works when time permitted to sneak away from my table. It was a well run event all around and a healthy…

The show features local and national artists, and apparently…

Finished up a long first day of MoCCAfest – plenty of good conversations and interest in expanding what comics can do. The Beat’s Torsten Adair was kind enough to post a few words about what i’m up to in his reflections on MoCCAfest day One column here! He mentions the Rabbit page from my Possibilities…
This week sees the release of the collection of nearly all my comics over the last several years!
