Shoplifting

One of the illustrations I did recently was for the film adaptation to Tao Lin's book Shoplifting From American Apparel. These are a couple sketches that we didn't end up using. If you're in Chicago and you want to see the final poster, you should head to next week's local screening at The Logan Theatre. The first twenty people at the screening will actually get a free poster, and if you buy two tickets you can get a copy of the DVD. They still need to sell more tickets to make the screening happen, so get your tickets soon...

Your Move, Raincloud

I spent a few years working on album art for Your Move, Raincloud. Technically I worked on a lot of other things while working on this, but with the album finally coming out we had to stop coming up with new ideas. Here's a few of the many design sketches I drew up, along with a peak at the physical album package as it's being printed an assembled.

Happy Holidays

Chronicle Books made up a holiday poster and gift tags for Darth Vader and son that you can download from here. Meanwhile, yet another Kickstarter project to mention - this time an anthology that includes a ten page unpublished autobiographical story written specifically for this book about modern attitudes towards feminism, The Big Feminist BUT.

Okay, you can stop saving the date now...

...and start watching the movie, streaming now on itunes and Amazon. Meanwhile, if you're in Albuquerque, you can come get me to sign something at Astrozombies tomorrow, November 10. On Kickstarter, you have until later tonight to get my incentive drawing half-off for Mail order Ninja. And finally, you can try and get a free copy of Darth Vader and son on Goodreads, where the book is a Goodreads Choice Awards nominee.

Coming Soon...

Darth Vader Reads

This past Saturday was Star Wars Reads Day, and I signed at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville, Illinois. The highlight was having the 501st Legion's Midwest Garrison show up, and watching Darth Vader read my book to the kids...

Why did the chicken cross the road?

My son Oscar gave me the punch-line, which you can hear on The Dinner Party, where I also talk about some sci-fi moments that have stuck with me over the years. Also, in preparation for my first visit to Star Wars Celebration, I drew a little comic for a starwars.com guest blog post. If you're going to be at Celebration on Saturday,August 25, come see my panel (along with pop-up book artist Matthew Reinhart) at 11am, or stop by the Dark Horse booth for my signing at 4pm. I'll also be signing at the Barnes & Noble booth Sunday morning at 11am. Now back to drawing the last 113 pages of the second rough draft of my current project...
