Emily and I are moving down to California's Central Coast!
She's going to be the Children's Librarian for two local libaries, while I'm going to be diving into drawing my graphic novel that's set in the area.
Moving is a massive hassle, of course, but before we leave Portland, we're trying to have some fun and appreciate the unique artistic community and vegan treats...
Last night I had a lovely timereading my comics at Liz Yerby‘s Comics Club!
Emily and our dear friend Ari Bigmouse helped me do character voices, and after we finished reading Shay Mirk surprised us with farewell cupcakes! So sweet!
The other readers—Shay Mirk, Tara Stephens, and Never Angeline North—were all wonderful in different ways.
Just a darn nice event!
Thanks to Liz for concocting it all, and to Jim Kettner for encouraging me to be a part.

Had a blast at The Oregon Museum of Sciene and Industry, presenting “Creating Iconic Characters” in the planetarium!
P-nut has never loomed so large.
I had no idea what to expect from the crowd at a science museum adult night, and everyone was so friendly and cool.
Thanks to all who came out, and to the museum and Anya Bogorad for making it happen, plus props to Emily Parrish and Shay Mirk for taking pics.
Also, the Marvel Exhibit at OMSI is really fun!
Great selection of original comic art, and look who we got to meet!

Last week's Webcomics Workshop at CCS was an absolute blast!
The students were a creative delight, Masha Zhdanova was a wonderful TA, and the guest speakers were so fascinating to talk to!
