Coming Soon

Here's the cover to "Funny Misshapen Body", which should be in stores this week or next. It's stories from high school, college, and art school, basically about how I ended up becoming an artist, or more specifically, a cartoonist.

Earth Hour

Saturday is Earth Hour, so turn off your lights at 830PM.

New Comic Book Magazine Day

As long as I'm posting about interviews lately, today is a perfect day to mention the new issue of Wizard magazine hitting the stands, with a full page interview with me written by Kiel Phegley, and previewing "Funny Misshapen Body." It also mentions some up and coming artists, like my friend and fellow cartoonist Jeff Lemire. And then I think there's a bunch of stuff about Witchblade, Superman, and SpiderWoman. I'm not sure, I haven't looked through the whole thing closely yet.

All For Swinging You Around Comics

A couple weeks ago, I sat in with the guys of the Around Comics podcast, to talk mostly about 'Funny Misshapen Body', which should be out next weekish. They're a pretty funny group of guys, so check out their extensive list of back issues. I mean episodes.

Walking

Here's an early screen test from the animated video for 'Your Heart Is An Empty Room' from the Directions DVD from Death Cab For Cutie.

DOOM

I was always a bigger fan of X-Men, but Fantastic Four was another favorite comic growing up. I just did an interview over at Doomkopf, and you can see the full version of this drawing (based on the Secret Wars cover) on the Covered blog.

Swedish

Lately I've been working on writing the text for the Swedish translation of 'Clusmy'. This is what a page of the text looks like... it's kind of weird to do, especially with a book I haven't actually picked up and looked at in a few years. I mean, I knew these things happened, in my life, but the farther from the past you get the less clear it becomes maybe, and also, you realize how different a person you can be from who you were a few years ago. I guess almost ten years ago. Anyway, I think this'll be the first and last time I draw the text for one of my own books...
