New comic in IKJK anthology!

I recently did a comic story for the newest installment of I Know Joe Kimpel (IKJK) 4- square anthology, "Future" which will make its debut at MoCCA festival!

It's been a while since I've done a B&W comic! My story is titled "Virtual Date." It's about two boys that encounter each other online, they then find themselves involved in hologram dates and interplanetary romance. :)

The newest, latest anthology also includes stories by José-Luis Olivares, Jason Overby, and Emily Wieja. You can check out previews and more here: http://www.iknowjoekimpel.com/blog/?p=327


As always, very excited to go to MOCCA, which is coming up so soon this year!
It's next weekend, April 10th and 11th, held at the Lexington ave. Armory in NYC.
You can find the "Future" 4-square comic at the IKJK table (G6). The image on the left is the cover but instead of the yellow it will be gold foil (nice!) so pick up a copy :) See you guys at MOCCA!

"Happy Ending" at Miss Scarlet in the Parlor

I have some new pieces in this show! (including the new silkscreens I've posted lately on this blog)

The show will remain on display until the 17th of this month, so if you're in LA be sure to check it out!

Miss Scarlet in the Parlor is also a nice shop and they are currently carrying some copies of my latest silkscreen book "rainbow & i"

Check out the video of the opening here!

Romance in color

The final prints is on nice Rives BFK cream color paper, the only kind I print on really. This took one night for separations and just a few hours at the print shop, basically a day's work. :)

I actually have not seen this film until now! After I got invited to participate in this show, I went out to rent it right away. I watched it with my roommate and we really enjoyed it (we found it thoroughly amusing that Dorothy was pegged as a loony from the beginning) but anyway!

For this show, I did a portrait of Jack Pumpkinhead.
