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.

My full-on return to comics was for an art show in Detroit around the 2004 US Presidential Election. I’ve made a habit of doing a piece around each election since. For various reasons, this year has been a little tougher than the others – but this is what I’ve come up with. A piece about “We.”…
