Kris Mukai is basically selling 6 prints of these for $5 a set if I understand correctly.  That’s fucking insane! Go buy it before she realizes her mistake!!

Ok kids.  Here’s something you need to get on the calendar.
Tomorrow Chris Sparks’ labor of love, Team Cul de Sac: Cartoonists Draw the Line at Parkinson’s is hitting the streets.  
Celebrating the work of DC-area cartoonist Richard Thompson, who has been battling Parkinson’s for several years, the book features renditions of Thompson’s Cul de Sac characters by some of the most amazing names in comics.
Folks like: Bill (fricking) Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes fame, Garry Trudeau (Doonesbury), Nick Galifianakis, Mo Willems (The Pigeon books), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Pat Oliphant (Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist), Gene Weingarten and David Clark (Barney & Clyde), Mason Mastroianni (B.C.), Roger Langridge (Muppet Show comic book, Marvel’s Thor: The Mighty Avenger, Fred the Clown) and more.
Literally hundreds of artists submitted artwork for the book. Michael Cavna of the Washington Post was sporting a review copy at the Herblock Price Dinner a few weeks back.  It is a stunning piece of work and a portion of the proceeds from the book will go directly to the Michael J. Fox foundation to support Parkinson’s research.
Trust me, you’re going to want a copy.
As fate would have it, we’ve got an EVENT for that! 
On June 10th the Small Press Expo is co-hosting a book signing / fundraiser / celebration / release party / hoedown for Team Cul de Sac at One More Page Books in Arlington, Virginia. Many of the contributing artists will be in attendance and, we hope, Richard will be able to make it as well.
Everyone who picks up a copy of Team Cul de Sac at the event will get a free one day pass to SPX 2012 for this fall. Not a bad little bonus.
We’re thrilled to be able to work on this with the folks at One More Page. Independent bookstores are a national treasure and we jumped at the chance to throw our - admittedly somewhat waifish - weight behind this fantastic event.
So, here’s the bonafide deets:
Team Cul de Sac Fundraiser / Book Signing

Please, Tumblr friends throw a few reblogs on this so we can spread word of the event far and wide.  It’s a great book celebrating great work for a great cause.

Advice for Young Cartoonists
A very unusual commission in that I was asked to draw myself rather than one of my beloved characters and the patron (Pierce) paid extra for me to provide some cartooning advice.

Did he have any thoughts on overtaking him as the god damned handsomest man in indie comics?

Seriously Paul, leave a little room for the rest of us. Grow an ill-advised soul patch or something.

On second thought you’d probably pull that off too.

Jerk.

Notebook sketches. These were during a class visit by Paul Hornschemeier. He had some really great advise for anyone wanting to make comics.

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.


Access:

The hotel is directly across the street from the White Flint metro station on the Red Line.
