LA zine fest Recap

I loved LA! I was there for a full week, seeing old friends and doing the tabling thing at LA Zine Fest. There was a huge turn out at the festival, it was overwhelming! I ended up selling most of the stuff I brought, which meant I did not bring nearly enough, which is good. :)

my table FULL of stuff

my table 2 hours before the end of the day! By the end, ALL of the prints and totes were gone, every mini accordion I brought gone, as well as every copy I brought of Pink Lemonade and rainbow & i books.

Other stuff I did in LA: lots of dog-petting.

Jon & Deisel

dog high-five

Ate lots of Mexican food

Pupusas and watermelon lemonade at Silverlake farmer's market.

shrimp tacos at El 7 Mares. I also recommend Ricky's Fish Tacos nearby!

Took a road trip to Point Dume....

...where we spotted dolphins!

I did a comic reading at Home Room the night before the festival. I got to read 2 things, including my newest story "Find my Light". I got a really good response from my reading, people seem to especially love the Rainbow & i presentation with the Beach House song "Holy Dances". All in all a very memorable week in LA. :)

APE and San Francisco Recap

San Francisco was beautiful as always! The weather was perfect this time around. APE was so much fun this year, I thought it was my 4th consecutive year but Jon Vermilyea told me it's my 5th?? I am completely losing track. APE is always awesome and I don't think I will ever stop exhibiting. Here is my recap of the trip, photo diary style:

I had the pleasure of hosting two lovely young ladies this time around. Pictured here are my friends Jess and Diana on top of a hill.

We got tacos at one of my all time favorite Mexican places, El Metate in Potrero/Mission area.

Here is Jon and Hilary playing some pinball at the Lasp Gasp warehouse.

Jess and Diana help me set up my table!

Post-APE dim sum with my ladies!

I did really well at APE! I sold out every advanced copy I brought of my new "don't follow me." I will have more copies available next weekend at Whitney Museum's very own Zine Day(!) as well as Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest coming up in December in Brooklyn, NY.
