Sketch Klubb Houston has a show called SHOW US YOUR ZITS opening this Saturday at the Joanna in Houston.
My buddy Russell Etchen, who manages the dope ass art comic book store Domy Books in Houston and Austin co-founded the Houston Sketch Klubb and started the Austin Sketch Klubb X Draw Thyme (of which I’m a member) is gonna have work up, among others I don’t know! If you’re in Houston come check it out, I know I’ll be there …
Austin Creative Code, “an informal group in Austin Texas that helps artists learn to program, and empowers them to build interactivity into their artwork,” is having our second meetup this Wednesday, June 16th (tomorrow!) at 8pm at Spiderhouse. Go download processing, the free, open source programming language for visual artists, to your laptop and bring it with you! We’ll be discussing and playing with a processing version of “the game of world domination.”
Froghead Hangover got reviewed as part of a mini-comics round-up over at High-Low, the temporary home of Rob Clough’s sequart.com comic column.
Despite this comic’s absurd title, it is absolutely an accurate description of its contents. Reminiscent of somewhere between Mat Brinkman and Sam Gaskin, Cardini tells a story of a video-game playing humanoid who wakes up from a bad hangover to find that a large froghead has somehow wound up in his house.
TRANZ got reviewed over at Optical Sloth, here’s a quote:
“Everything looks great and William/Mark is certainly not short on imagination, I guess I’m just more old fashioned in my comics reading, what with my general preference for linear stories and all. Still, there’s a lot to be said with the ‘where the hell is this going to go from here?’ school of making comics, and I’m all kinds of intrigued to see what he does next and what he’s already done that might or might not be more accessible than this to the common folk.”

STAPLE! was a real good time, we moved plenty of product and wayyy more ppl showed up than last year, so thanks Austin and Uncle Staple for making it such a success! Look for the GCP and glademade at Zine Fest Houston, coming up May 16th!
Thanks to everyone who came out for the opening! It was as cold as Hoth out there but I think we all had a gud thyme. I’m going to have gallery hours from 7-9 pm on Wednesday 12/10 and 12/17, and from 12-5 pm on Saturday 12/13 and 12/20, if any of y’all wanna stop by. Here’s some images from the opening:
