Let's just assume that my best years are still ahead of me and I'll redouble my efforts and try not to die. I do come from a long-lived family. Anyways, thanks to my editor, <a href="http://www.tugboatpress.com/">Greg Means of Tugboat Press</a>, for believing in me and getting this thing out there.<br /><br />You can vote for me or any other of the nominees you like at the <a href="http://www.spxpo.com/">Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD on September 11-12</a>. Just attend, fill out a ballot and drop it in a cardboard box. The process is more similar to giving people valentines in grade school than it is to an election, but who among us fell in love with comics because they imagined that a small-press festival associated with the art would one day provide a perfect laboratory for field-testing innovative new democratic processes?matt whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063399388609003658noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142595460900026211.post-77882250137599940402010-08-20T20:52:00.000-07:002010-08-20T21:11:41.734-07:00Paping rules, Paping is cool, and we've got Paping in our schoolSo you know who's great?

It has most of the contents of Paping's two silkscreen issues up on the walls; they're out of print now, I think, so if you want to see them now's a great chance. You'll can't see my stories "Think With Your Fists" and "Pink Meteor" anywhere else, for example. Also, there's a ton of John's prints for shows, posters for old runnings of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZewYBinicg">Paping Soap Box Derby,</a> and the linocuts for the Paping Puppet show, as well as stuff from a lot of Paping's contributors and friends.<br /><br />Secondly, John's assembled the new window display for <a href="http://www.desertislandbrooklyn.com/">Desert Island</a>, the comic book store in Williamsburg. If you want to shop for comics at an establishment with a quality window display, I can't think of a better place than that.<br /><br />Oh, yeah, and thirdly, dude's got a new job or two and is gonna be back teaching art! Keep it up, man, I'm glad you'll be able to afford burritos again.matt whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063399388609003658noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142595460900026211.post-71771598184902453452010-08-20T20:37:00.000-07:002010-08-20T20:46:49.578-07:00Summer DoldrumsOh, hi, I was asleep at the wheel of most of my internet-stuff for the past couple months; sorry. Anyways, I've got a bunch of new stuff at Partyka. July's drawings consist of a bunch of discarded sketchbook ideas for the <a href="http://iwilldestroyyounews.blogspot.com/2010/08/coming-soon.html">Bound and Gagged</a> show <a href="http://www.iwilldestroyyou.com/index.html">Tom Neely</a> is putting together for <a href="http://www.thesecretheadquarters.com/">Secret Headquarters in LA</a>. I'm down to the wire on the actual things I decided to do for the show, but hopefully I'll have them in the mail soon, and Tom will still want them.

I played a few games with him when he was in New York last summer, the first time I'd played non-computer D&D since high school. It was excellent: look, we set on fire a minotaur that obviously outclassed our characters, and it fled, shrieking, from its chamber. Electric Wizard was playing. Or maybe Bolt Thrower. It ruled.<br /><br />Anyway, since October Zak's been blogging at <a href="http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/">Playing D&D With Porn Stars</a>, recounting his ongoing game in LA and ruminating over game mechanics and design, among other stuff. It's my new favorite blog, rewarding on so many levels that it is totally interrupting the work I am supposed to be getting done right now (sorry).<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEYEUwav_mr-kdwzQZLr1qdrhS2ph36OglJf06NvF-u7LRJ8qhD9xMffZ1xrxq0uzAJ7eZSJ116G8uiDWEw5RKxh4wswiKQIPEprex4GzzS8bNbz8IpX5WDu2ohMysYstMHm61E5RsRSU/s1600-h/IMAGE0009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEYEUwav_mr-kdwzQZLr1qdrhS2ph36OglJf06NvF-u7LRJ8qhD9xMffZ1xrxq0uzAJ7eZSJ116G8uiDWEw5RKxh4wswiKQIPEprex4GzzS8bNbz8IpX5WDu2ohMysYstMHm61E5RsRSU/s320/IMAGE0009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440446401974435186" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(goblin, by Zak)</span><br /></div><br /><br />-<a href="http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2009/10/where-action-is-part-2-grognardia-jack.html">Here he is on how D&D campaigns, as they unfold, parallel the picaresque, and on how picaresques function in general</a>.<br /><br />-<a href="http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-cruellest-kill.html">Here's the sad story of Charles the Pig</a>.<br /><br />-<a href="http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-my-players-are-doing-when-theyre.html">And here's some things folks have drawn during his games, including a picture of my guy, the late Horst Von Chasm</a>: (toad, poison)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQeFxY5fFLKaI66RaWovG9OGceGdxkPbrqE3hwJcui8R6wtrSeY6cXu4MAfgmSYtF9MPjjmjytGZaV1v2pbi2EEnS4W9hmsuTuen33599qXmtlI7KI-egcojB7LP3P9dmw-O5yJ-9mHx0/s1600-h/IMAGE0011.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 305px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQeFxY5fFLKaI66RaWovG9OGceGdxkPbrqE3hwJcui8R6wtrSeY6cXu4MAfgmSYtF9MPjjmjytGZaV1v2pbi2EEnS4W9hmsuTuen33599qXmtlI7KI-egcojB7LP3P9dmw-O5yJ-9mHx0/s320/IMAGE0011.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440446781514510098" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;">(sorry I only rolled you 1 hit point, Horst)<br /></span></div>matt whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063399388609003658noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142595460900026211.post-26940523837485661202010-02-18T15:33:00.000-08:002010-02-18T15:35:39.163-08:00Hoi PolloiNew daily drawing up at <a href="http://www.partykausa.com">Partyka</a>: <a href="http://www.partykausa.com/2010/021710.shtml">Hoi Polloi</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUVxdIagtMjQSjMIT0hylVOSJIUTSJOyp70kYQY7lB9vYZ93m7PktZ5wNEX1ACfu6bZ_XC-PisKzlp-dBvsFEbOSSlFWe2-nfPUcB__0ZgZp7gSM_kQZUaPjpyWeSoRm9SGmyt1KHpL8M/s1600-h/matt-021710.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUVxdIagtMjQSjMIT0hylVOSJIUTSJOyp70kYQY7lB9vYZ93m7PktZ5wNEX1ACfu6bZ_XC-PisKzlp-dBvsFEbOSSlFWe2-nfPUcB__0ZgZp7gSM_kQZUaPjpyWeSoRm9SGmyt1KHpL8M/s320/matt-021710.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439731145648704226" border="0" /></a>matt whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063399388609003658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142595460900026211.post-78499617513328372802010-02-09T11:20:00.000-08:002010-02-09T11:22:41.120-08:00Bees Attack the BattleshipNew daily drawing at <a href="http://www.partykausa.com/">Partyka</a>: "<a href="http://www.partykausa.com/2010/020910.shtml">Bees Attack the Battleship 1</a>:"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Fx9nuQraXG_mF6qJsci5E4qjswsFIqA_0Gmt2X3Jq4Cje2V6FifQUBkFXLyT6CcA5pb1F0HHoRvyzyFLRDnDjiLQKA1ww3gLRFlhMqAy_fFhPtPfalfrYP8zkL7DLPA_9B90bW6kiEw/s1600-h/matt-020910.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Fx9nuQraXG_mF6qJsci5E4qjswsFIqA_0Gmt2X3Jq4Cje2V6FifQUBkFXLyT6CcA5pb1F0HHoRvyzyFLRDnDjiLQKA1ww3gLRFlhMqAy_fFhPtPfalfrYP8zkL7DLPA_9B90bW6kiEw/s320/matt-020910.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436326282143040114" border="0" /></a>matt whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063399388609003658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142595460900026211.post-41542656915245829672010-02-07T23:31:00.000-08:002010-02-07T23:40:15.602-08:00Glare Brothers/Natalie Collette WoodNew daily drawings up at <a href="http://www.partykausa.com">Partyka</a>.
