Slide Show Tonight at Quimby's

Assuming the world economy doesn't spontaneously combust and take us all with it between now and 7:00, I'm going to be doing a reading/comics slide show at Quimby's bookstore here in Chicago tonight (Thursday, 9-25-8). I'll be showing a sort of preview of the forthcoming Monologues for Calculating the Density of Black Holes (Monologues II-Fantagraphics Books, due out in February) as well as a video-ized version of the strip Event, which first appeared in Mome, back in 2005, and was originally conceived as a video, not a comic strip. Which explains why it doesn't really look like one. Joe Meno and Arthur Nersesian are also reading.

You should look at my friend Kyle's poloroids. They're awesome.

Below are some things I've been working on lately. The first is the cover of an edition of Sisyphus (first appeared in Kramer's Ergot #4) that I'm putting out in Finnish with Boing Being. Following that are the cover and three pages from Big Questions #11(D&Q). Both are due out this fall.
