CAKE swag.

I got so much great stuff at CAKE this weekend. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who came out to CAKE this weekend, The organizers, the Center on Halsted, the exhibitors, and those who stopped at the Yeti table and said hi.

It's really intimidating to look at the pile of books on my coffee table knowing that I have to read them, but then I realize that I GET to read them, and that they all represent a small moment of exchanged respect and friendship between comics lovers and creators.

CAKE!

(not pictured above: The Lumpen Magazine comics issue, David Alvarado's "Who Remembers Anyway?", The special edition goodies from LINEWORK 4, and the plush toy that came along with Leigh Luna's "Clementine Fox.")

I’ll be at CAKE all day today, stop by and say Hello.

Table 75, with Yeti Press.

CAKE!

Come find me tomorrow and Sunday at CAKE- Chicago Alternative Comics Expo with copies of Our Ever Improving Living Room and my new mini "mumblecore comix." I'll be at table 75 with Yeti Press all weekend.
11am - 6pm Center on Halsted 3656 N Halsted. FREE ADMISSION! Hope to see you there!

COMIC ART BATTLE

Tomorrow night I'll be jumping in the ring as part of a COMIC ART BATTLE!
I'm representing Team Chicago, alongside Andy Burkholder, Paul Nudd, Sara Drake, and Lyra Hill. Our competition, representing Team World, are Lisa Hanawalt, Michael DeForge, Patrick Kyle, Ed Luce and Gabrielle Gamboa.
Ezra Clayton Daniels is hosting the event, which takes place immediately following a signing featuring debuts from Lisa, Michael, and Patrick - starting at 9pm.

Here's the flier for the signing, drawn in collaboration by the artists.

Come out to Quimby's Bookstore tomorrow to watch the ink-shed, and see who will survive to make it to CAKE the next day.
