The National Cartoonists Society recently announced their first international comic arts festival, NCSFEST, taking place in Huntington Beach, CA in May of 2019. You may say “what… another comic con???”, but you’d be badly mistaken to compare what NCSFEST is going to be and your typical U.S. comic con. This festival is patterned after some of the highly regarded European fests like the UK’s Lakes International Comic Arts Festival and France’s Lyon BD Festival. NCSFEST won’t be held in some cavernous convention center, but like their European counterparts it will take over an entire town, in this case Huntington Beach, with a huge street fair… READ MORE

Just announced a new workshop scheduled for 2019: Las Vegas! Taking place at Light Forge Studios near The Orleans hotel (and casino… duh) on February 8-10th. My last announced workshop in Orlando sold out within hours… just sayin’. I still have a single spot available each for my London and Phoenix workshops, and two now available for the Minnesota one, all taking place in 2018. READ MORE

EDIT- Wow, that workshop sold out within hours. If you missed out send me a note to be added to the waitlist. Be sure and indicate it’s the Orlando workshop you are interested in. I can almost guarantee one or two people will decide not to follow through, and spots will open up. I’m starting to look into locations for workshops in 2019, and my first stop will be Orlando, Fl on Jan 11-13th. It will have been two years since my last workshop in Orlando, so this one is bound to sell out quickly. If you don’t know what these workshops are all about,… READ MORE

I just got back from doing a workshop in Portland this past weekend. Great fun with a great group of artists! Just a reminder that I have two open spots in my London workshop next month, Aug 14-16th, as well as two spots in my Minnesota workshop, October 12-14th and three for my Phoenix workshop Nov 30-Dec 2. All my other 2018 workshops are sold out! I have one workshop planned for 2019 so far (announcement coming soon) and I’ll probably schedule a few more, but I guarantee I will not be doing as many as I am this year. They will be fewer and… READ MORE

Tuesday, June 19th marks the 40th birthday of everyone’s favorite lasagna-loving, Monday-hating cat. Garfield and friends are celebrating with a new book entitled Age Happens: Garfield Hits the Big 4-0 from Ballantine Books. The full color book features a collection of classic strips, fan art, and a foreword by the Pulitzer Prize–winning creator of Hamilton! (and lifelong Garfield lover) Lin-Manuel Miranda. It also features a section of birthday wishes from guest cartoonists, of which one is me (see above). The book will be released Tuesday, on the anniversary of Garfield’s first appearance.
