Life with Mr. Dangerous, On The Press

Above is a picture taken at the press printing Life with Mr. Dangerous, showing every bit of my exhaustion from waking at four a.m. the morning after flying back from New York and driving the three and a half hours to Crawfordsville, Indiana.

But the trip was well worth it and I can personally vouch for the printing being very true to my intentions. The amount that colors can shift on press is staggering... Even in this grainy phone picture I took afterward (below), you can see the shift, printed from the same file, between a page as it printed in Mome (the page lower in the picture) and as printed for the book (the page higher in the picture).

I'll be posting more about book tour dates and other exciting bits here very soon, as well as more information on the Life with Mr. Dangerous limited edition copies. Thanks again to those that pre-ordered and a reminder to those still interested to get your pre-orders in now.

Hello Mome 17, Goodbye Mome

In Issue 17 of Fantagraphics' anthology Mome, Life with Mr. Dangerous will conclude in a thirty-one page installment (two pages of which is below). For this issue housing the end of the story (and my tenure at Mome), I drew the cover (above) and the back cover.

A million thanks to editor Eric Reynolds for not murdering me as the installments for this book trickled in over the past few years. It's been great being a part of Mome, and I'll be looking forward to future issues.

From One Cold Midwestern City to Another

I won't be attending this (unless my schedule shifts radically), but I'll have a couple pieces here, and it promises to be a great show...

Those Bulbous Buddies

The first story staring the round and confused Titus and Bailiwick originally appeared in Fantagraphics' anthology Mome, but I finally got around to posting it on The Holy Consumption's Sunday Services.

At some point these little weirdos will hopefully find their way into a children's book or two. But at the very least, I think they'll pop up again, the rogues.
