MoCCA was a blast this year, as always. I got a tonnnnn of awesome-looking minicomics, newsprint comic anthologies, and other books. I was glad that it was in April this year rather than June – NYC in June is too much like Austin in June, but NYC in April is a nice cool break from the high temperatures that are already here in Texas.<\/p>\n

The only panel that I went to was Frank Santoro and Dash Shaw in Conversation<\/i>. They talked mainly about color in comics, and how it differs from color in a painting. Frank talked about how he puts together a page of Cold Heat<\/i>, which was fascinating. He really made me see how offset comics are a form of printmaking just like serigraphy. I came away with a lot of good ideas for my next project, which you’ll hear more about later…<\/p>\n

While I was in NYC I finally got to meet my collaborator Josh Burggraf<\/a> in person. I chilled with him at the Supertalk Comix table (where we had copies of SHAMAN THUNDER<\/i> for sale), met the Supertalk d00dz and drew this jam comic:<\/p>\n


Panel One: Josh, Panel Two: Me, Panel Three: Victor Kerlow<\/a>, Panel Four: Josh, Panel Five: Jeremy Povolny, Panel Six: Me<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On Sunday I went to the MOMA, where there’s a William Kentridge show up. He always makes me want to buckle down and get some animation done. I’d seen his angrier videos before but I also saw some that were more mournful and beautiful, as well as some amazing playful ones that reminded me of early cinema.<\/p>\n

I didn’t end up unloading all of my copies of SHAMAN THUNDER<\/i> so if you want one let me know. We’re selling them for two dollars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
