Fight me. Or not, I don’t care. 😉
New Haven, CT
I’ll get back to comics soon. For now, here is a sketch of the stacks at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale.
Hanover, NH
I spoke on a panel at Dartmouth College a couple days ago, as well as ran a zine workshop. New England tends to feels a bit itchy to me – something about the mix of colonial revival architecture and spring pollen and in Hanover, the somewhat overbearing J. Crew sort of whiteness. It is beautiful, though, and I had a very intimidating cruller french toast at Lou’s.
Blue Mesa
I’m still fairly buried under the last round of edits for my Route 66 book(but you’ll be able to read 160 pages of travel adventures sooooon…well, much later this year, or early 2018). But here’s a painting of the Blue Mesa formation at the Petrified Forest National Park, as well as Bug’s first visit to my favourite national park.
Muffler Men – IL
I’m still chugging away on my Route 66 book, but here are a couple of pages from it! I love Muffler Men(especially the Paul Bunyan variant), and Illinois has several of them along Route 66!
Hourly Comics Day
Hey, ever wondered what my day looks like when I’m not travelling? Well, I participated in Hourly Comics Day, where us cartoonists try to draw what we’re doing every single hour we’re awake! Here’s mine(it was February 1st).
Lady Liberty
A comic about the Statue of Liberty. I keep on having feels about hopeful statues that have stood over a lot of shitty American history.
Happy January! (oh goodness, it is 2017)
I haven’t updated here much, lately, but it’s because that I was busy having adventures and writing about them for my first full-length graphic novel, which is on Route 66! More news on that soon. I’ll be updating with adventure comics here again very soon.
Also, I have a traveling companion now. Her name is Bug, and she is the best dog.
For now, I have compiled all of my Petrified Forest comics digitally, and you can download it for free on Gumroad!
Homestead
I’m just wrapping up a residency at Homestead National Monument, where I’ve been wandering the prairie and being assaulted by grasshoppers for two weeks. Here are some sketches from my time here.
a couple of sketches from the road
