Recent happenings in the interblob

This interview just got posted this week at Tiny Mix Tapes. Some topics discussed:
–Zen koans in the form of a gag strip
–Canadian superheroes
–Drawing the landscape of New Mexico
–Dennis Hopper's highly regarded mis-steps

Also, they used a certain image to headline the piece:

In honor of being disemboweled, and because I'm not sold out like I thought I was, the print of that image is on sale here for $25 through next week.


Two books, one with pictures by, one with pictures of me also are being released upon the world this week. One is Julia Rothman's Drawn In, which is about artist's sketchbooks. Highlights include awesomeness by Austin English, Abbey Hendrickson, Christian Defilippo and Laura Park .





The other one is Heroes and Villains, a book of photographs of artists by Tatiana Wills and Roman Cho. Gabrielle's photo is especially awesome.
And here's the cover of that one:
