I have a 14 page story in this anthology and we’re pushing for some funding! It’d mean the world to us if you could throw a few bucks our way! Maurice Vellekoop is in it! Michael Deforge! Emily Carroll! Tim Sievert! Prizes include (amongst other things) a set of prints (one is a drawing of mine) AND A DATE WITH AN ARTIST!
All I’m saying is that I’m one of the artists.

For example, if you haven’t seen Emily’s Dune set on Flickr!  Seek it!
And she didn’t cheap out and just do stuff from the first novel - she covered the whole wild and crazy series…
My kind of nerd.

Americana

brianwood:

Today sees the release of the Vertigo anthology The Unexpected, and includes an 8-page story I wrote for Emily Carroll to draw.  This story has some history behind it.

Years back, ABC News did this special called Earth 2100.  I was asked to write these “graphic novel” segments, that would be animated in a limited manner and intercut into the documentary.  I gave it a whirl but clashed unpleasantly with the requirements of the job and bowed out (I think some other Brooklyn cartoonists got the gig).  What I was left with was an awful lot of material that I created and still owned.  And so I filed it away.  Some of it is being incorporated into The Massive, but the story itself I retooled for this 8-pager, called Americana.

My original story detailed the journey of a young woman through a century of climate change and all that entails.  That’s a huge story, and for a long time I thought maybe there was a series to be written about this.  Or at least a graphic novel.  But I thought why not take it to an extreme, going the other way?  Compress a story that spans a hundred years of world-changing events into 8 pages, and purposely using as little information and text as possible, just enough to communicate the story.

I love how it came out.  I love Emily Carroll’s art, and in truth I wrote this story for her, specifically, to draw.  On the surface it’s not your typical story from me, but I dunno, maybe it is at its core?  Anyway, here’s a page from the story.  Check it out.  See it larger here.

Emily Carroll, interview at The Comics Journal

drawnblog:

Emily Carroll drew her very first comic in May 2010. Thirteen months later, she won the Joe Shuster Award for Outstanding Web Comics Creator. So go ahead, pull “meteoric rise” out of the cliché file and wave it like you just don’t care—Carroll and her comics have earned the term.

2013 Special Guests

Small Press Expo is pleased to announce Seth, Gary Panter, Lisa Hanawalt, Gene Yang and Frank Santoro as special guests at SPX 2013, to be held Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15.  We are honored that both Seth and Gary Panter will be making their first SPX appearances at this year’s show.

 
Seth
Creator and advocate of a Canadian design aesthetic, Seth is best known to the comics world as the artist/writer of the long running Palookaville comic, as well as his graphic novels Wimbledon Green and George Sprott (1895-1975), which was originally serialized in the New York Times. He is also known for his book design work for such series as The Complete Peanuts, Nancy and Melvin Monster, in addition to The Portable Dorothy Parker.

 
Gary Panter
Painter, poster artist, cartoonist, commercial artist, and set designer, polymath Gary Panter has covered the gamut. Best known to the comics world for his long running, post-apocalyptic Jimbo series as well as his graphic novel Dal Tokyo, he also won an Emmy Award for his work on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, and the Chrysler Award for his influence in graphic design.

 
Lisa Hanawalt
Lisa Hanawalt has vaulted from her Ignatz Award winning mini-comics Stay Away From Other People and I Want You, to illustrating for such periodicals as the New York Times Op-Ed page, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Bloomberg Business Week, as well as McSweeney’s and The Believer. Her latest book is My Dirty Dumb Eyes, a compendium of her work being published this May by Drawn & Quarterly.

 
Gene Yang
Gene Yang, creator behind the award winning American Born Chinese, is returning to the graphic novel field with a two volume set, Boxers & Saints, to be released this fall by First Second Books. Set in China in 1900, it tells the story of the Boxer rebellion and how the teemagers of the day used their “super heroes” from Chinese opera as inspirations to fight against foreign invaders.

 
Frank Santoro
Frank Santoro is back with his latest work, Pompei, published by Picturebox. His Storeyville was one of the most influential comics of the 1990’s, leading to its reprinting in book form in 2007. He now runs the Santoro Correspondence Course For Comic Book Makers, which carries on the tradition of correspondence courses for cartoonists that stretches back over century, now in an online form utilizing the latest in collaborative technology.
