I’m working on a new comic called TRANZ that I plan on having ready for Staple 2009 (March 7th at the Monarch Event Center here in Austin).

I’m doing the comic this way to practice my craft. Every page will be six panels – I’ve already cut the pages and drawn the grid with a pencil. I’m trying to explore transformation and repetition through the medium of cartooning. I’m really excited about this project.
