I’ve just finished designing this here flyer for the Center for Cartoon Studies Colo(u)r Workshop that’ll be featuring at San Francisco’s Alternative Press Expo this year on Nov 1st and 2nd. Bit of a departure from my usual style, and a stark contrast to the 9/11 strip above – second page will go up after this weekend.
If you’re a Bay Area local, pick up and treasure your very own flyer from one of San Fran’s fine comic-selling establishments as of tomorrow, when I’ll be dropping them off all over the city.
Apologies for the delay in serving up the next instalment to you, dear reader – the second year of CCS has kicked in now, as well as pre-promo work for San Fran’s Alternative Press Expo, which I’m doing the flyer for (I’ll post the mockup forthwith).
Other big news is that the Comite de Defensa del/a Trabajador@/Worker Defense Committee in Seattle, Washington want to translate my What A Whopper Comic into Spanish, as part of their Spanish-language radical lending library. They’re a worker-led organization working to develop a community of day laborers in Seattle empowered to stand up for the rights of their compañeros through public campaigns against bad bosses and unjust systems. Visit the Comix section of this site to read the first 8 pages of this soon-to-be international comic.
Speaking of which, here’s the next equally international instalment of Cuba Libre, fresh from October’s issue of Bash Magazine. Enjoy.
It’s been too long since my last post I know, but there’s been a lot happening, so bear with me:
I submitted a poster for Moveon.org‘s Obama Poster Campaign:
It didn’t make it to the DNC (old hat of a news story now), mainly cos it looks like they were after more art with a capital A : click here for the paintily finalists. I’ve also been working on a new strip for BASH around the Sept 11 Chilean Coup that brought Salvador Allende’s Socialist regime toppling down, though you’ll have to wait a bit before I post it online. PLUS I’ve finally become a star of the silver screen!! I’m in a trailer for a new documentary out about the Center for Cartoon Studies, made by the award-winning Tara Wray. Click here to watch it.
One of sketches features around 30 secs in too. I don’t remember why, but I also provide sagelike advice on why you should never trust clean shaven men. Which I stand by.
AND most importantly of all, I got ENGAGED!! All my love to my blushing, supportive and amazing fiancee Jodie.
Here’s the next page in the Cuba Libre story running in August’s issue of Bash Magazine – read the earlier ones by clicking in the side bar menu. In other news, Microcosm are now distributing my What A Whopper comic across the US of A.
Bash Magazine, a free comics monthly, has now launched in Washington DC, complete with 3 pages of my ongoing strip Cuba Libre. You can download a PDF of it here.
Here’s page 2 of the strip above. I’ll post the next one shortly.
Part 2 of the Comic Book Creators’ excerpts, as well as the good news that a regular publisher of my monthly comics, London’sThe Other Side Magazine, was recently featured in The Guardian‘s media section. Click here to read the interview with Sam, TOS’s fresh-faced Editor.
Details aplenty from Nate:
