A big thanks to all the people that came out to Jim Hanley's Universe for the Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies signing.  We sold a lot of books and had a blast doing it!  Check out my photo wrap-up below.

Dean knows that Mike has what it takes to sign a bunch of books.

As usual, Fiffe added some color to the event.

Joe attempted to draw a unique Savage Dragon fin in each book.

Apparently no one wanted George O'Connors signature so he started free-stylin'.

It was a solid two hours of autographs and sketches!

Kat doing a custom sketch.

Dean-- no stranger to a Jim Hanley signing.

An odd couple?

A focused Mike Cavallaro...

Happy customers!

Fun for the whole family!

I had a blast!  Thanks everybody!

Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies Collection In Stores Now

Cover by the man himself, Erik Larsen

The collected TWISTED SAVAGE DRAGON FUNNIES is in stores now! This oversized, full color, 144 page book collects all 12 short stories released as backups in this past year's Savage Dragon monthly comic plus 8 all new stories by some great indie artists.  iFanboy has a nice little write-up with more info.  USAToday gave it a mention, too!  Stop by your local comic book store to buy it, and if they are sold out, you can purchase it online.  I've made a full roundup of the stories collected and their creators after the jump.

Whales Everywhere

I did a little lettering on the latest edition to Chris Miskiewicz's Everywhere Anthology.  This time it's Whales Everywhere with art by Ashley Quigg.

Claimus Flees Manhattan Concludes

You know me, I can't resist a rearview portrait that breaks the frame!

I previously mentioned that I illustrated the six-part story Claimus Flees Manhattan by Ken Wohlrob.  Now you can read the final three chapters over at Undie Press.

DrawBridge Studio

I've recently moved into a new studio over in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn.  The new studio is called DrawBridge and it takes the space of the former Deep6 Studio.  From left to right the members are:  Simon Fraser, Robin Ha, Tim Hamilton, Yours Truly, and Mike Cavallaro.  Together with our next-door neighbors at Hypothetical Island, you can see daily warmup sketches at the DrawBridge Blog.  (I've posted a sketch or two here in the past.)

MoCCA Wrap-Up

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the MoCCA Festival last weekend.  This year was a great success for me as I either sold out or nearly sold out of all of my new offerings!  Indeed, after selling out of my Clean Streets comics on the first day, I had to leave the Strange Tales Release Party early on Saturday night to go home a make more for Sunday!

My table fully stocked.

Thanks again to Tim Hall for a great partnership on Haberdash Vol. 2!

A book for all ages.

And also a big thank you to Amelia at Sugarbuilt Cookies for her awesome Haberdash-inspired hat cookies.

There were a lot of people with great hats that stopped by the table.

And for all you people that thought the cookies were too beautiful to actually eat:

I believe her actual words were, "Wow, these taste great too."

And I'd be remiss if I didn't share this photo I took on Friday night taken at the First Second party.  The party was on the 10th floor in a room at the pointy end of the Flatiron Building -- a great party with a great view!
