LA Weekly slideshow

Even though my comics depressed him, Mark Mauer at LA Weekly posted a slideshow from our show .

Opening Night!

Above are some installation shots taken before the opening.

Below are some random shots of the opening night from Tom's camera.
I'm sure Scot will have some good pictures to post as well.
Somehow I managed to not get any pictures of Scot. But he was there.

I have a halo!

Weekly Comic Strip by tomN!

Tomorrow I intend to begin a weekly comic strip on my blog.

I've been working on a number of pieces that I see as sort of "comic strip poems." These "poems" will all be in the Igloo Tornado Show later this month. I hope you enjoy them. Please check my blog every Wednesday for a new strip. And feel free to make comments.

Beasts II!

Jacob Covey edited an awesome book for Fantagraphics called Beasts! It includes 90 artists doing their own interpretations of mythical monsters and beasts from around the world. The book was so successful, that he's decided to do a sequel: Beasts! 2. And I'm gonna be in it.

I chose the Skinwalker for my beast. It's sort of the Navajo (and Norse) version of a werewolf, but they can change into other things like hawks, coyotes, bears, etc.

Here is my version of a Skinwalker sort of in the middle of transformation:


The book should be out sometime this summer.

Levon Jihanian is also going to be in the book (he should post his beast as well).
