Lumpen Magazine Comics issue

I recently had the honor of editing the all-comics issue of Lumpen Magazine. I think it came together rather nicely. Look for the return of the regular comics section next issue.

Here's my strip from the magazine:

Wild @ Jean Albano Gallery

This show opens next Friday, January 11th at Jean Albano Gallery. It's definitely an honor to be showing with these folks.

Poster from the last Brain Frame

Lyra Hill and I made this poster for the last Brain Frame. My favorite perfomative comics reading night in Chicago:

Afterimage @ Depaul University

My animation "Minnie Moohlah Moves In" is currently viewable from the Fullerton Redline platform as part of the Afterimage exhibition at Depaul University here in Chicago. Above are a few stills of the animation but it is best viewed at the show which is chock full of amazing artists who have all been influenced by the Chicago Imagists. Go see it before it closes on November 18th!

This Sculpture by Trubble Club is also a part of the show:

Modern Inkers and Rarely Seen at the AIC

I recently Curated a show called Modern Inkers: Experimentation in Comics in the Ryerson Library of Art Institute of Chicago. It's up until September 23rd.

I also helped Curate a selection of printed works for the current show in Prints and Drawings entitled Rarely Seen Contemporary Works on Paper which is on view until January 13th.

People like it so much that they fall asleep while leaning on the cases:

Happenings at CAKE this weekend

This weekend marks the first annual Chicago Alternative Comics Expo, or CAKE. I most excited to be moderating a panel between the legendary Karl Wirsum of Hairy Who fame, and local artist/curator Paul Nudd.

I will have some new comics debuting at the fest in the CAKE anthology edited by Andy Burkholder and in Corpus Corpus 4: Pox which is edited by Paul Nudd and available at his booth. Will also have some prints for sale at the Trubble Club booth so stop by!

After the fest on Saturday head up the street to the Cake art show Eat Before We Eat You where a couple of my comic pieces and some poster drawings are on display. Info:
