So, I just finished this piece for the Giant Robot Year of the Tiger show at GR2... But then I notice that they forgot to include me on the postcard or the press release, or any of their online announcements... So, will this piece be on display at GR2 this Saturday? 
This is another of my reinterpretations of a classic horror comic book cover. This time it's a 1965 Harvey Thriller: Unearthly Spectaculars. See the original drawn by Jack Sparling here.

METAL MAD at GRNY
There's an awesome looking show at Giant Robot New York. It's all Heavy Metal inspired art by a long list of killer artists inlcuding:
Skinner, Brian Ralph, Scrappers, Matt Furie, Kiyoshi Nakazawa,
TOM NEELY (that's me), and many more. They are showing the original artwork for my Wolves in the Throne Room poster, which looks like this minus all the text:
Here's the postcard for the show with more info:
While we're talking about Giant Robot... like most of us in the last couple of years, Giant Robot Magazine has hit hard times. I hate to see any form of print media struggling, but especially a magazine like this that has been so important and supportive of the underground/alternative art and comics scene. Please, if you can, consider donating to the magazine to help keep it afloat. More info about that is here.

MoCCA and Giant Robot show in NYC this weekend (plus something next week)
I'll be at the MoCCA Comic Arts Festival this weekend! Plus I'm in a group show at Giant Robot NY. 
Saturday and Sunday I'll be at MoCCA.
I'm sharing a table with my friends Jesse Reklaw and Willow Dawson. I think we're table #813 (which appears to be along the back wall) and we're listed under Sparkplug Comic Books in the program.
I'll have The Blot, Your Disease Spread Quick and Brilliantly Ham-fisted for sale. And if I can fit them in my suitcase, I should have some prints and other stuff for sale as well.
Also, on Saturday at 2pm, I'll be part of a panel called "Making Comics in a New Era" with Brett Warnock (Top Shelf), Alvin Buenaventura (Buenaventura Press), Dylan Williams (Sparkplug), Mats Johnson, and Julia Wertz. It's moderated by Heidi McDonald (The Beat). I have no idea what I'll be talking about. It should be interesting.
Check the MoCCA website for address, schedule and other info.
Saturday Night there is an art opening and book signing party at Giant Robot NY:
I should have 4 of my comic strip poem originals in this Panelists show. This is the first time I've shown at a gallery in NYC! And there are lots of other great artists in this show, too. Also, this is a "Future Shock" book signing party for several new comics from Sparkplug Comic Books, Secret Acres and more. Two parties in one! Check the Giant Robot NY website for more info.
And one last thing, since I won't be able to blog about it while I'm away...
There's an auction benefit happening in Los Angeles on June 10th. I've donated two of my prints to be auctioned off. The proceeds go to help support anti-gang, youth-oriented parks programs and is hosted by Eric Garcettti. Check out the flyer for more info:

I'm all over the place this weekend...
Three things happening this weekend that I will be a part of...
For those of you in L.A., there is a group show at GR2 called Free To A Good Home 2: DOGS! Along with artwork by great artists and cartoonists like Andrice Arp, Jeffrey Brown, Shawn Cheng, David King, Kiyoshi Nakazawa, John Pham, Aaron Renier, Daria Tessler, Steve Weissman (and many, many more), there will be dogs from local animal shelters available for adoption! So get some new art and a new pet at the same time. Here's my painting for the show:
Floating World Comics in Portland, OR, is having a benefit art show and auction for the hemophilia research center of OHSU. The theme of the show is the X-men character Kitty Pryde. I made a Nancy-esque comic strip based on the X-men #143 comic. You can get posters of artwork from all the different artists for $5. And the original artwork will be auctioned off. Here's my Kitty Pryde:
You can see other artists' Kitty Prydes at this blog.
And finally, I'll be in Toronto this weekend...
I'm exhibiting with my friends Sparkplug Comic Books at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. I'll have all my books and maybe some prints for sale, too. If you're in or near Toronto come check it out.
