I just finished up a week in Chicago - the city I love most, but not for the weather. Here’s a page from my sketchbook.
The radiant, hilarious, talented, Beth Hetland and I at our table today at the Maine Comic Art Festival!

The Center for Cartoon Studies class of 2010 graduated on Saturday! I bawled my eyes out through the ceremony—thinking about how next year I’ll be thrown out into the cold, cold world outside of the CCS bubble—but my spirits were lifted by a delightfully hilarious Texas family dinner with two of my favorite new graduates, Jen Vaughn and Laura Terry.
Here’s a classic Jen moment that probably contributed to our being ejected from a mediocre restaurant in Hanover.
Not everyone has offspring, but everyone has a mother!
Last preview from Chutzpah! Issue One before we return to regularly scheduled programming next week.

After four weeks of 12 hour days in the CCS lab, 160 copies of the very first ever issue of Chutzpah! are FINISHED! Contained within these beautiful covers (generously printed in full color on felt finish paper by K/P Corporation and then hand silk-screened by yours truly!) is the origin story of a heroine the likes of which the world has never seen! In 24 pages find out how almost average teenager Rachel Levine became the incredible queen of confidence, the guru of guts, the maven of moxie, the bestower of balls, CHUTZPAH!
To celebrate finishing this project, and my first year at CCS, if you order your copy of Chutzpah! by May 7th you can have it for just $5.00, including shipping!!! After May 7th the price will be $6.00. Email me to arrange to have one mailed to you.
Happy reading!
