If you want to know the backstory to this week’s teacher’s strike in Chicago, or the origins of the reforms and their divisive effect on the political landscape – not to mention the view from the ground (or classroom) from several teachers and staff working in education, then look no further. $8 plus shipping through paypal.

Above is a wee taste of my latest collaboration to be published by Harper Collins: Man Vs Markets, by Paddy Hirsch. Its honourable goal is to explain the ins and outs of the financial system that we’re so used to seeing splashed over the front pages. I did the explainer doodles and cover art. Look inside the book here or order your very own copy here.

After finally reaching a breathing point after months-worth of deadlines (could be the eye of the storm, mind you) I finally took the chance to get back to some illustration work. Here’s the new cover of my soon-to-be-launched comic (co-written with Nikil Saval), Hard Hats. For more info, go to the Hard Hats page.

Above is some of the original concept art for one of my latest projects that will feature comic art, animation, after effects and live action documentary footage, all blended together. It’s a unique opportunity to get out from behind my drawing board and work as part of a team, which I’m really enjoying, though I can’t share too many more details with you until we’re into the next stage of the project. Early days yet. There’ll be a trailer for you in early May, so be sure to check back in then. I finally bit the bullet and got a copy of toonboom after what felt like a lifetime of wrestling with flash, and so far, so good. Aside from some jaw-droppingly bizarre keyboard controls (alt + a = brush tool, anyone?). I was actually prompted to get TB over anything else after seeing the trailer for the oscar-nominated Chico and Rita.
Speaking of nominations, the Yiddish-themed anthology I collaborated with Harvey Pekar on, Yiddishkeit, has been nominated for an Eisner award for Best Anthology! Kudos to comics stalwart Paul Buhle for getting us there. Clearly this post, there’s no I in team. There is one in Eisner though.
