A.P.E.

I Will Destroy You Comics will be at APE this weekend (April 9th and 10th).

I have joined forces with Jesse Reklaw and Flash Pham's Global Hobo Distribution Co. and we will be sharing several tables with several artists.

I have one new mini comic called "Henry & Glenn 4-Ever" debuting at this convention.
This mini-comic is the first published work of Igloo Tornado, an artists' collective that I started with my friends: Levon Jihanian, Gin Stevens, and Scot Nobles.

The Hobo booth will also have an art gallery with lots of original art by lots of artists, including me.

So come on by the Hobo booth and fill your bindles full of good comics, art, and t-shirts.

Check the A.P.E. website for times and location.

It's Time for a Kartoon Kocktail!

Kartoon Kocktail will be happening on April 8th in San Francisco.

This is the 2nd annual collection of independent animation curated by Jesse Reklaw and Stefan Gruber.

I'm not showing the Muffs video, as i planned, because it's not finished yet.

BUT i have created a 1 minute animated intro for the festival that i think is very funny.

In addition to that, there are several great cartoons and animated films showing this year.

Please come out, have a Kocktail, and watch some Kartoons this Friday!

For more information, and the location, visit the Kartoon Kocktail website!
