Godzilla in The Wild West

Here's a (rather lengthy) interview followed by a question and answer session that took place at Columbus Museum of Art during my recent residency at Thurber House. Thanks to Jared Gardner (Professor of English and Film Studies at The Ohio State University) for all his thoughtful questions, as well as all the great questions and comments from the audience. We covered a pretty wide gamut of subjects, from the Chicago and Ohio cartoon worlds, to psychedelic puppets, to Godzilla in the wild west. A little something for everyone.

The Secret Life Of Residency

This has already trickled its way out onto various blogs, but I wanted to be sure to post it here as well: The Columbus Museum of Art and Thurber House are launching a Graphic Novelist Residency, and I'm honored to be the inaugural recipient.

From March 19th to April 6th, I will be residing in the boyhood home of James Thurber, working on new projects, as well as doing a variety of events around town. Having been an admirer of Thurber's work since my own childhood, and having started my comics career in earnest in Columbus, deciding to answer the residency's invitation in the affirmative took little debate.

For more information about the residency go here or for updates from the museum here. And more information about Thurber House is here.

If you'll be in the Columbus area during my time in town, I'll hope to see you at one event or another. I'll be the one sketching an inordinate amount of whimsical dogs.
