I'll be at Centro de Artes in San Antonio on July 10 for this Artist Talk related to the current group comics exhibition there. Come say hi.

RIP folk singer Michael Hurley. I made this anthology zine with friends a lifetime ago. One of my contributions was a comic based on Hurley's haunting "The Werewolf Song" which I was obsessed with at the time.

Art book fairs are a thing where you can find a decent zine and it could be $5 or $500. Find my low-priced comics here today at Boston University 808 Comm Ave from 11-6. I'll be in the hallway where all good comics are.

Excited to see that Hacienda #3 is reviewed in this month's Arrivals and Departures column in The Comics Journal. "Ortega is some kind of narrative virtuoso."

My comics are in a group show opening in a few days in San Antonio. Here are some behind the scenes installation pictures that include wall graphics of my art.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.
