A BOOK! This exciting news was just announced on The Comics Reporter and Drawn & Quarterly’s blog:
Drawn & Quarterly has acquired world rights to MY DIRTY DUMB EYES by award-winning cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt, it was announced today by Tom Devlin, Acquiring Editor & Creative Director. To be released in Spring 2013, MY DIRTY DUMB EYES is Hanawalt’s first full length work. It will be a collection of her intricately detailed, absurdly funny comics that have appeared in The Hairpin, VanityFair.com, Lucky Peach, Saveur, The New York Times and The Believer.

(probably not the actual cover)
Tom Devlin says: “Her unhinged musings on pop culture and celebrity make her the premiere humorist for her generation. She approaches her subjects with both a stalker’s wild-eyed mania and a satirist’s precise control.”

A wild-eyed stalker maniac, that’s me! Thanks to all of you who have been following my work for the last few years, months or minutes, I am overjoyed by your existence.
In other news, hey Chicago, I’m coming your way on June 16 & 17 for CAKE, the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo! I’m tabling with my buddies Julia Wertz and Domitille Collardey and I’m on a Sunday afternoon panel, “Crude and Rude: The Importance of Vulgarity,” with fellow rude-dudes Ivan Brunetti, Hellen Jo and Onsmith.

What else is up? I’m enjoying Instagram lately. I don’t know, my brother made me join and then I liked it! I’m “lisadraws” on there. Dog pictures.

A few weeks ago Lisa and I went to check out the International Beauty Show at the Javitz convention center. I’ve always loved trade shows, and this one turned out to be especially nuts, so we came back the next day with a camera and made a short video of us goofing around on the convention floor.
Lisa is absolutely hilarious, and collaborating with her on this was an incredible ton of fun. Check it out and enjoy!
