I have a lot to catch you up on since my last newsletter: I launched a new weekly comic, I went on hiatus from another, I'm getting much closer to finishing the inks for THE MANY MISFORTUNES OF EUGENIA WANG, and I'm still closed to commissions, but you still have a chance to get a caricature from me on April 21st.
Make sure to share this with your friends and enemies who you think might have a secret morbid curiosity about me. Sign up for regular updates via my contact form.
Events
As I mentioned in my January newsletter, I went to the SCBWI Winter Conference in NYC in February as an attendee. Here's my conference report:
I had a live event I was doing caricature commissions at when I got back, but I got sick and missed it. I did, however make it to their St. Patrick's Day event and will plan to do their next event on Sunday, April 21st.
I don't do many events right now, so if you'd been hoping to get a caricature from me, this might be your best bet! Tickets are available at https://www.longmontoutloud.com/sundaycomics

NEW: EUpoLOGIES
I launched a new weekly comic out of necessity, not time. I felt like our public discourse was eroding as a result of a lack of self reflection. But, in the spirit of self-care, I also needed an approach that would not tax my drawing hand any further, so I approached it like Ryan North in Dinosaur Comics or David Lynch in the Angriest Dog in the World. I'd recycle the artwork (for the most part) and just change the text. Enjoy!
