In the month of March I decided that I would make a 5-10 page mini-comic for the kids at work. It would be about two kids, a half-elf boy and a young witch teaming up to fight a dark wizard; it would be called A QUICK TRIP. But then things got out of hand. Here we are, 3 months of really hard (fun) work later, and A Quick Trip wasn’t so quick after all. 
It turned out to be 51 pages long, with a lot of color. 

Now, this is my first comic, and since it’s so long and in color I definitely can’t afford to get it printed nicely. But A Quick Trip is my baby. All I want is to be able to show it to everyone that I possibly can. 
Here’s how you can get one:
-reblog this post
-on August 12th, i will choose two rebloggers at random to win a handmade copy of the book and an original illustration from me.  
you can also:
-DONATE ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY $2 AND UP TO MY PAYPAL (andpannell@gmail.com) AND RECEIVE A REAL NICE PDF!!-
-reblog this post, dammit. it can’t hurt.

Seriously, spread this around. I’ve posted a lot more of A Quick Trip on my page, so go ahead and check that out too. This book really means everything to me, and i want to be able to show everyone i can. 

I’m also offering blood atonements, seek within.

The olecranon merits no mention?
INCONCEIVABLE.
Your elbow doesn’t stop itself from hyperextedning, does it?  DOES IT?!?
I didn’t think so.
heck-yeah-old-tech:

Let’s take a moment to remember one of the greatest writers of biology and natural science books for children and students: Dr. Herbert S. Zim (July 12, 1909 – December 5, 1994) is responsible for literally hundreds of texts about a plethora of subects, written in a manner that youth could understand. He spent over thirty years in the fields of science and science education, introduced laboratory instruction into elementary school science, and became the head of the science department at the Ethical Culture Schools in New York and a science consultant for other schools; he did research in science education under a General Education Board grant before becoming an educational consultant for the US Fish & Wildlife Service and Professor of Science Education at the University of Illinois. He worked nearly until his passing as the editor of the Golden Guides series of educational manuals.
The illustration above is from his book for first through fourth grade students, Bones (1969: Wm Morrow & Co), rendered by René Martin. [Another sketch.]

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.
