The Magic Hedge #2: Firsts, Seconds, and Endings, is finally done! You’ll be able to pick up a copy this weekend, June 16th and 17th, at CAKE!! I hope that you’ll stop by my table, #46, to say hi…and also come to this panel, Real Life, a round table with a bunch of talented women who make autobiographical comics (at 12:30 on Saturday). Finally, if you want to get even more jazzed about CAKE, John Wawrzaszek says some nice things about me and let me ramble on in this pre-CAKE spotlight at Gaper’s Block…Can’t wait to see all of you comics friends this weekend!!!!!
I will have a new mini-comic to take to TCAF in May— “The Jake Stories,” which will eventually be collected in The Magic Hedge Issue #2, set to debut at CAKE in June!!!! I am so excited about both festivals!! Look at this cover illustration! I just drew it!
The Magic Hedge (reviewed at Make Space!) -
The lovely Kelly Parsell of Make Space wrote a kind review of The Magic Hedge issue #1!!!
This is the introduction page to the story I’ve been writing/drawing at my residency with the Ragdale Foundation these past 2 weeks. I’m coming home in a couple days, but thought I’d post a little something to show that I’ve been working hard out here in the prairie (Lake Forest, IL). I’m a little dizzy from the joy of focusing on cartooning, singing (there’s a baby grand piano in my studio!), playing guitar, reading, and walking through the prairie with red-tailed hawks circling overhead. The story this drawing introduces will be one of the major comics in The Magic Hedge #2…It deals with something I’ve never been brave enough to write about before— my ballet-dancing past. I’m so excited & nervous to see which other stories end up in the book!
