LADYFINGERS. AS IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW.

Because nothing says “lady” like a high society dame who’s financially helpless.

Sometimes, I’m just so glad that I can own land.

A few months ago, AIDS GLOBAL ACTION came to our school to talk about a poster contest they were running on the 30th ‘anniversary’ of AIDS. After talking to several people, including the fantastic (Dr. to-be) Rachel Stern, what was on my mind was a way to talk about AIDS tests as part of everyone’s annual checkup checklist. Doctor’s visit, cholesterol test, dental cleaning, AIDS test — part of our lives, part of our routine. That’s where this poster came from. It was one of the finalists displayed in the New Museum and sold at Housing Works.

Coming soon – our department is mounting a show of all the projects we’ve been working on this fall (all stemming from themes from a circus short story we read) – ZOÖTROPE is going to be part of it. A real invitation is going out soon, but for now, it’ll be up in SVA’s gallery on 209 East 23rd Street from Feb. 10 – March 3rd, 2012.

Opening night reception is Valentine’s Day evening – 6-8:00pm

Here’s the website (with everyone’s work!)

ZACH ATTACK!

I love Christina Xu. Partly because she is, of course, very lovable, and partly because she does really interesting things like work on Awesome Foundation Grants and ROFL-Con and Breadpig, but also because she lets me draw posters of Zach Weiner and Zach Anner stomping on Austin, TX.

IF COMICS FANS WERE TRUE HOOLIGANS

Everyone knows comics fans are die-hards, but you do have to admit that we don’t break a lot of bottles.

SKETCHES

From classes:

There are 14 women in my MFA year and 6 men. Sometimes, the guys like to sit all together during Writing Class, and that’s when they get drawn like this. Keith is goth-ing it up in the middle.

Us desperately hydrating ourselves.

Top: visit to Carl’s studio, bottom: writing class exercise imagining a conversation between a bear and a seagull; and Carl, who I hope doesn’t mind.
