A brazilian comicsphile feels the inky pull towards a page of Archcomix
Congrats to Augusto Paim for organizing the Comics journalism conference in Brazil at the Porto Alegre Goethe Institute. I wasn’t there in person sadly, but some of my artwork made it through the ether- check out this photo from my comic on Chagos, a panel of which is above, back in the days when I used to watercolour. To read the whole comic, click here.
More details are now out about my upcoming talk on comics journalism at the Miami Book Fair, so those of you on the east coast looking for some thanksgiving sun prime your diaries for 4pm this Sunday. Get the full skinny here. I’m sharing the panel with war correspondent David Axe, writer of War is Boring, which was then turned into a comic by Matt Bors. (Wars might be, but coups definitely aren’t).

A request to new visitors to the site: (welcome!) on the right hand toolbar is a chipin widget that I’m using to get pre-orders for a hard copy, full-colour 32p comic about US intervention in central america – featuring both parts of the Honduran Coup: A Graphic History as published in Alternet and the Huffington Post. Read more about it on the chipin page I’ve created here.
For $5 (plus $2 shipping in the US and $4 overseas) you’ll get a copy of the comic as well as your name printed in the back, along with all the other donors to the project. We’re already well on the way (see the total) and payment is via paypal so totally safe. Be part of a group project to help raise awareness and produce an educational tool that will have a lasting impact. And please use the buttons below to share this link around – facebook, twitter, digg – any help is appreciated.
Here’s the last of the Honduran coup pages: the follow-up is on the drawing board, and the spanish version is now being revamped thanks to some helpful translation tips from Nicolas Ariztia. We may have a bead on a Mexican paper interested in posting it, so keep coming back for updates. Also I’ll be posting my latest piece (and first forray into watercolour) either tomorrow or over the weekend, which involves the British Indian Ocean Territory and the new guantanamo. Plus checkout my flickr page and add me as a contact in the links to the right for more sketches, studies and doodles. The more activist art we can get onto Flickr the better.
Shouts out to the brazilian visitors to the site: Jefferson, Alexandre Lucas from the Faz Caber design/arts blog and Douglas Duarte from the O livreiro blog.
