Every year at E.A.S.T. I like to showcase my major project from the past year. In 2010, that was the unsold artwork from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/domybooks\/sets\/72157625736943695\/detail\/\">my show <em>Hypermorph<\/em> at Domy Houston<\/a> &ndash; and this year, it&#8217;s <em>VORTEX<\/em>, a graphic novel that I&#8217;ve been working on since the beginning of June. The first 32 pages form a nice semi self-contained narrative so I printed them up as a 7&#215;10&#8243; black-and-white xerox minicomic.<\/p>\n<p>Come by E.A.S.T. Stop #121, 1807 East 22nd St, today (Saturday November 12th), tomorrow (Sunday November 13th), or next weekend (November 19th and 20th) from 11am to 6pm to check <em>VORTEX<\/em> #1 out! Glade and I also have a ton of other great artwork, comics, prints, and cards for you to see. I&#8217;ll be posting more pictures next week.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not an Austinite and want to order a copy of <em>VORTEX<\/em> #1, they&#8217;re $5 plus $1 shipping.
