My friends. Lisa Hanawalt, Eleanor Davis and I will be speaking about comics and illustration at the Society of Illustrators in NYC next week (Feb 23rd).
There will be a cash bar and I’m trying to wrangle snacks. Hopefully something sugary to jack you all up to ask questions during the Q&A. Deets above and here. Purchase tickets here.
It’s true, this is happening! I’m so excited to speak with two of my favorite illustrators on the planet. Come see us.
…So it is with faint disappointment that I have learned that Pizza Island, the happened-to-be-all-female studio in Brooklyn, which consists of Kate Beaton, Domitille Collardey, Sarah Glidden, Meredith Gran, Lisa Hanawalt, Julia Wertz, and Deana Sobel, will be disbanding at the end of the month after two years.
….
All the artists remain friends and are continuing with their work, though Beaton is indeed returning home to Canada, and Glidden will be Artist-in-Residence at Angoulême, France for the next 7 months (go see her photo journal of a day walking around the town!) I wish them all the best and look forward to everything this lot of talented ladies will unleash upon the comics world!
Aw, it’s true, Pizza Island is over, although it didn’t really sink in until I was cleaning up my desk today.
Read our scandalous reasons for disbanding here. I also like Julia’s post about it.
It’s been really nice reading all the sweet comments about our studio and seeing how psyched people were about it. This might be the funniest comment we received:
Oh, a dude, don’t be sad! We probably were.
Crimestoppers Club Show
I’ll be reading some comics at Michael Kupperman & Kate Beaton’s show tomorrow night! Come to Luca Lounge in NYC if you want to watch and listen to some fun.
We Bought A Zoo!
That’s what you’ll say after shopping in my new Etsy Store!
It’s a lot of the same stuff as my Tumblr shop, but I think Etsy might be a better platform for peddling wares. We shall see, it’s an experiment!
I’m able to do Priority (2-3) shipping until Wednesday Dec. 21 for about $5 extra per order if you need last minute items for the holidays.

I’m working on some new stuff and will have non-merchandise-related news soon, I swear.
Look, I’m making fingers:
Look, I’m drawing Crocs:
And look, I’m trying to decide if I’d rather write a movie review of: A) Ghost Protocol B) War Horse C) We Bought a Zoo D) ALL THREE!?
What’s new with you?
New prints and Krampus holiday cards!
I’ll have all of these and more at Table 11 (downstairs) at the Brooklyn Comics & Graphics Festival tomorrow.
If you can’t make it to the show, order them online here!
************
Oh hey, and my table mates all have new things you should buy!
Domitille Collardey has cute tote bags, the prettiest hand-painted pins and inventive new mini-comics (one of them folds out into a huge poster!).
Sarah Glidden has lovely watercolor superhero portraits (yes, superheroes!) and a clever mini about being a tourist in Italy.
Julia Wertz has her hilarious, lovable books and minis and is apparently making buttons right at this moment! BUTTONS.
It’ll be a blast. Your wallet will scream!
BCGF and Saturday Shows!
If you’re in New York this Saturday, go to this:
It’s The Brooklyn Comics & Graphics Festival! I’ll be downstairs at Table 11, next to Domitille Collardey, Julia Wertz and Sarah Glidden.
I’ve got a stack of new prints and original artwork for sale, come grab ‘em!
