At last! The whole education reform comic Adam Bessie and I did for Truthout has finally aired. Check out part 1, part 2 and now, part 3. If you’ve enjoyed them then: share/tweet/do all the social stuff AND chipin in via the widget below to help get us a print run off the ground.

Here’s a preview from my latest comic on trafficking in the South Bay, out now in the latest edition of the San Francisco Public Press. I’ll post a link when it’s up online. Read their excellent coverage of bay area human trafficking here. In the meantime, ink and colour is being slung on the second part of the Education Reform Comic for Truthout. Here’s the first part in case you missed it.
This weekend I’m back in Vermont for the Woodstock Digital Media Festival, where I’ll be part of the “Telling [TRUE] Stories” panel tomorrow at 11:45. For a full list of my fellow new mediaphile participants, go here.

A sneak preview from my latest comic on education reform, out next week on Truthout.org featuring Milton Friedman. I’m currently in Moscow at an independent media conference run by the Eurasia foundation – follow my live tweets/sketches below or directly on twitter.
At least it is for my current assignment for the Stanford Medical School on the minutiae of cholesterol and heart-attack-related chicanery.
After finally reaching a breathing point after months-worth of deadlines (could be the eye of the storm, mind you) I finally took the chance to get back to some illustration work. Here’s the new cover of my soon-to-be-launched comic (co-written with Nikil Saval), Hard Hats. For more info, go to the Hard Hats page.

Above is some of the original concept art for one of my latest projects that will feature comic art, animation, after effects and live action documentary footage, all blended together. It’s a unique opportunity to get out from behind my drawing board and work as part of a team, which I’m really enjoying, though I can’t share too many more details with you until we’re into the next stage of the project. Early days yet. There’ll be a trailer for you in early May, so be sure to check back in then. I finally bit the bullet and got a copy of toonboom after what felt like a lifetime of wrestling with flash, and so far, so good. Aside from some jaw-droppingly bizarre keyboard controls (alt + a = brush tool, anyone?). I was actually prompted to get TB over anything else after seeing the trailer for the oscar-nominated Chico and Rita.
Speaking of nominations, the Yiddish-themed anthology I collaborated with Harvey Pekar on, Yiddishkeit, has been nominated for an Eisner award for Best Anthology! Kudos to comics stalwart Paul Buhle for getting us there. Clearly this post, there’s no I in team. There is one in Eisner though.
That’s right, my ICC comic is now live over at Cartoon Movement – click here to read it and please share it around the internets.
