This is my yeti-like state after a four day comics-making retreat. Freakin' abominable, huh? Totally worth getting a little shaggy, though! Soon I will be sharing the final publications and events for this 15th anniversary of Nix Comics!

I've never seen the B&W split one. Is he the Star Trek character or the In-Betweener?

I'm going to try and start writing some blog entries about my cool cartoon art on records and cool rock and roll comics from my collection. Basically, I'm starting this because I'm in love with the cover art for The Tommyknockers: Caught Dead Inside mini-LP. www.nixcomics.com/post/cool-ca...

It's been hard for me to solicit stores to carry recent Nix Comics titles because of increases to the price of printing. Well... Good news! The Greater Columbus Arts Council has awarded me a grant that will cover the difference! Time to get books into new the hands of new readers! Thanks GCAC!

One last DIY touch to my Columbus Book Festival set up: First 25 customers will get a "doodle bag" with a quick piece of original art. (Like really quick... I gave myself 30 seconds max for each!)

WIP: new Tales From The Crate cover, inspired by the cover to Crime Suspenstories #29 by Jack Kamen. I've also plotted out a short origin story for the Record Swami for this issue.

Morning soundtrack: a recent score at an antique mall/flea. Not an amazing country album... but definitely an amazing jacket with Webb signifying in front of his famous guitar shaped pool.

I keep shelves of records in two places in my home: most are downstairs with a bunch upstairs that I consider artistically influential on my comics. Today I realized this should be an upstairs record.

From the Cool Ghoul Theme Song mini-comic I gave out at S.P.A.C.E. this year. I'm thinking of doing a new free mini for every event I attend for the rest of this year. You know... for the "Collect them all" crowd...
