... And MAN was it FUN!!!

Oslo Comics Expo, My Expo schedule, on traveling to Norway

Princeton Zine Fest, Autobiographix interview, French edition at Albertine, and my Next Book slated for fall 2025

How do we ride the roller coaster of a lifetime of creativity? That’s what I talked about with Marika Reisberg in episode #199 of her podcast Sustaining Creativity.

Cruising my favorite local kraphaus (which calls itself an antique store but is really an overpriced flea market), I found this gem. It’s a copy—on wood—of a study of the head of an old man painted by the incredibly prolific and celebrated sixteenth-century Northern Renaissance woodcut carver and painter, Albrecht Dürer.

Stumbling exhaustedly past an old stone archway after my book signing at the Angoulême International Comics Festival two weeks ago, I saw the sign for an exhibition of original art by one of my first and most deeply influencing comix heroes, Julie Doucet. A Canadian artist who transformed indie comix in the 1990’s, she was awarded the Grand Prix at the Angoulême festival in 2022.

So I was meditating the other day and when I opened my eyes I saw this in the corner of my studio. Wow, I thought. Even if I had arranged it on purpose, I could not have made it express more perfectly how I feel about my upcoming trip to France.
