HOW? I got to see Jim Rugg’s original art for the SPX program cover for last year and it was amazing in such a baffling “How is that even possible?” kind of way. Rugg’s an incredible artist. (That’s still my favorite program cover, by the way. And in a lot of ways, my favorite piece of SPX art, period. I wanted to steal it but I did not because I’m a good person)

Another phenomenal peice by Jim Rugg, done only with ballpoint pens and spiral notebook paper. The Notebook Nerd exhibition by Jim Rugg is on display at iam8bit in Los Angeles, California.

TCAF REPORT - 6

Meet Matthew Sheret. He brought his fantastic Paper Science color tabloid comics on newsprint to TCAF. He made a nice package of 5 of them wrapped in specially designed paper. Of course, I needed to get a copy of just the wrapping paper for my collection.

If you like Smoke Signals, Magic Bullet, Secret Prison or the new Center for Cartoon Studies Cartoon Crier, go here and order Paper Science.

TCAF REPORT- 2

The ever present Dustin Harbin was indeed present. Though he was hiding out behind his wall of goodies, he made a great presentation at The Doug Wright Awards. He did this great mini-comic about the Doug Wright Awards last year, based on his TCJ.COM series (which you can see here) and his effusive commentary about the Doug Wright Awards rightfully got him the gig. And yes, I agree with Dustin…

Hey, check out the photos from the Guy Delisle signing at Politics & Prose here in DC that SPX co-sponsored. I had a chance to talk with Guy, a most gracious guy ;-) and was a real funny/entertaining speaker. It was a packed house, standing room only to get his latest book Jerusalem from Drawn & Quarterly. Oh, on the table in front of Guy are the cool free passes to SPX 2012 given to everybody who got their book signed by him.
