A sneak preview from my latest comic on education reform, out next week on Truthout.org featuring Milton Friedman. I’m currently in Moscow at an independent media conference run by the Eurasia foundation – follow my live tweets/sketches below or directly on twitter.
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.
I wanted to share my latest comic on human trafficking with you, published this morning on Truthout.org: http://www.truthout.org/human-trafficking/1329157025. The print version will be included in the latest issue of the SF public press, which hits the bay area streets today. Please give it some social media love!
Behold! The first glimpse of final artwork for my Alcatraz comic, based on the abortive escape attempt made my John Giles in 1945. Soon to be published by the National Park Conservancy Trust and available in Alcatraz, as well as through their (and my) online store, date tba.

In the build-up to a bumper deadline December, it’s been all hands on deck at Archcomix HQ, as the inked bristol slowly piles up on my desk. So as a taster to hold you over until next month when I can reveal what I’ve been up to, here’s a pencil (run through an iphone filter) of John Giles, the (anti)hero of my Alcatraz comic for the National Parks Conservancy Trust. See the Alcatraz page for more details. If you’re interested in how the pencils turn miraculously into inks, then check out my new time-lapse video on you tube by scrolling down (new users to the site: news is below the “fold”, under this here header announcement, and free comics are accessible through the drop-down menus above and via the buttons in the sidebar to the right).
I’ve also added some recent sketches to my flickr stream – check them out and follow my photostream here. And just in time for the festive season, check out my prints section and order some original artwork for the art lover/comic artist/discerning aesthete in your life – all come signed (with dedications optional).
A brief video intermission from the wishful thinking dept today – something to keep you sated until I can officially point you towards some of the myriad projects that have kept me busy for the past months. By busy, I mean manacled to my drawing board. This is from my upcoming comic on Alcatraz and will give you an idea of the new noir-ish style I’ve moved towards. Drybrush aplenty. Now if only I could speed up my inking process this easily…
