I made this 32-page Mitski fanzine for SPX. I had been listening to Be the Cowboy nonstop (let’s be real, I still am) and decided that I wanted to gently clear aside the pressures of professional and personal work and make an old-school indulgent fanzine. It was so fun!

Mitski’s music means so much to me. The way I explained it recently, even though she sings about feeling weak, she is obviously strong. Even though she sings about feeling sorry for herself, she doesn’t make me feel sorry for myself for identifying with her. There’s a lot of vulnerability and shame in her work, but it’s transmuted into power and pride by her relentlessly bold musicianship.

You can get a digital version of the zine here. All profits from sales of the zine on gumroad go to the #DefendThe11 fundraiser in support of 11 members of the comics community.

I’ll have physical copies for sale at Comic Arts LA in December!

A little making-of zine I made for a bookstore signing last weekend.

The Sex Fantasy collection is out now from Koyama Press, with all 10 issues (440 pages) of the completed Sex Fantasy series. Issues 9 and 10 are exclusive to the collection!

You can probably find Sex Fantasy at your local independent bookstore, or you can get it from an online retailer like Powell’s.

Thanks everyone for following along in the creation of this series! I loved hearing people’s thoughts and reactions to each issue.

Many thanks to Annie Koyama and Ed Kanerva of Koyama Press for making this book a reality... and for being wonderful people.

Buddy & studiomate Ric Carrasquillo and I made this theoretical furniture zine for CALA 2016 and now you can grab a .pdf of it on gumroad. 20 pages of dada furniture designs. We will be doing more with the Sweiili brand/model/line/identity/concept in the future, so if you like furniture and drawings by us then stay tuned.

It’s Sex Fantasy 7. I made it for SPX. It’s the longest ever Sex Fantasy at 64 pages. It’s so long I couldn’t come up with an elegant way to put it on tumblr, so you have to download a free .pdf from gumroad.

As always you can read all the Sex Fantasies here.

It’s been more than a year since the last Sex Fantasy, but the next 3 issues are going to be completed before the end of this year. Please enjoy, and thanks everyone who made this SPX an especially lovely one.

Swim Thru Fire, written by Annie Mok and drawn by me, has finished its run on Hazlitt. You can now read the entire comic:

Huge thanks to Annie of course for her story, script, research, and feedback, and our AD Anshuman for all his support... and thanks also to everyone who reached out with nice tweets, emails, and fanart while the comic was ongoing, that was wonderful to see. The comic is complete but stay tuned for more STF news eventually :>

I made these tiny lil riso-printed single sheet zines for Indiecade (which I just got back from). Thanks everyone who had nice things to say about them, congratulations everyone who is working so hard on wonderful videogames!

Here’s a reminder that I have last year’s Indiecade zine, Tactical, for sale on gumroad along with some other things...

Thank you Ryan Sands of Youth in Decline for use of his risograph duplicator!

hmm... is that all? Oh yeah, last time I did a single sheet zine I linked to this Rookie tutorial bout how to make them. They’re easy and fun.

I'll be attending SPX tomorrow and the day after! Come see me at table J11 with comix buddy Sam Alden. To my shock and delight I was nominated for 3 Ignatz awards this year... many thanks to the jury! I hope to see you there, come say hi!

New personal piece, First Date, which is available as a print in my brand-new INPRNT shop, along with some other pieces that people have asked for prints of over the years.

If you want to buy something that you don’t see stocked, just send me a tumblr message and I’ll put it up if there’s enough interest. ヽ(´▽`)ノ

I have a new .pdf up on gumroad, it’s called Some Sketches and it’s a collection of ~90 sketchbook drawings from the past couple of years, plus a 29-page travelogue of a trip to Japan I took last month. It only costs $1 (plus extra if you like)... there are a few lil comic strips in there as well... take a look.

TCAF’s over, here’s Sex Fantasy 6.

I picked up a lot of great books (and pins & things) and met new people, spent time with friends, it was a wonderful fest, thanks to everyone who was warm and welcoming. Shortly before the weekend I participated in a reading for the launch of Lovers Only #1, in which I have a short comic about teen romance – along with Cathy G. Johnson and Mickey Zacchilli.

You can read all the Sex Fantasies here. If you’re new to the series and want to read through the issues in chronological order (they are not sequential issue-to-issue but if you read them in chronological order they get better instead of worse) use this link.

By the way, this series is now more than halfway over. After 10 Sex Fantasies there will be no more.

Here’s a new comic for you. Sphincter is 49 pages and was created & printed for RIPExpo, which took place this past weekend.

I had a wonderful time at the fest, thanks everyone who came by my table, thanks to the convention organizers especially Cathy G and Mimi, and shout out to tablemate Annie Mok!

You can download a full .pdf of Sphincter...
