Overheard

This looks awesome! Can’t wait!

thewaywesleep:

This is it: The cover of The Way We Sleep (Curbside Splendor Press 2012). Much more coming very soon!

Whew. Ok, Sandor Clegane, and also Tyrion if you didn’t see me post him earlier.

Guys are so hard to draw…

Colors aren’t final—kind of a rush job. Wee!

Tyrion Lannister.

Not completely finished yet—working on Sandor Clegane next—

Guys! It’s an awesome comic, if you don’t get it you’ll be kicking yourself! Make sure you find her!

I’ll be wandering around TCAF and its panels most of the weekend - and I’m bringing minicomics in case you want to trade! Here is my face and my comic so you will know me if you want to partake! PS the comic won’t be backwards in real life.

So neat to be among so many cool comics!! Also makes me notice how off center the title is ._. whooopsies. :)

AND NOW: Comics I bought at Mocca 2012!

(Comics from DDLL 2012 are here!)

Top Row:
The Monkey in the Basement by Corinne Mucha (published by Retrofit)- I let my Retrofit sub lapse, so I picked this comic up individually. Energetic little drawings that fit nicely with the anxious, sweet stories!
Cool Story Bro 1 & 2 by Laura Kovalcin- this is like seeing my (and sometimes yours, I’m sure!) constant internal monologue down on paper, and it’s awesome.
Lizard Chase by Hanni Brosh- Adorable mini. Really nice panel compositions, overall great stuff.
This Isn’t Working- Comics About Ex-Boyfriends (published by Paper Rocket). Nice little anthology with work by Cara Bean, Caitlin Plovnick, Robyn Chapman, Liz Pince, Jen Vaughn, and Mari Naomi. Neat style variety in here.
Space Case Sally II, by Ashley Quigg- I picked up the SCS I (along with In Common) last year, and it  continues to be some sweet sibling fun.
The North Wind & the Sun by Lenah Chandhok- I’m a sucker for clever fable retellings, and this one is excellent.

Middle Row:
Rockall, Part II by Amelia Onorato- if you’re not reading Amelia’s work, you should be! CCS students put out consistently excellent work, and this is no exception. I bought the first part of Rockall at MOCCA last year, and the second continues right along in telling a lovely story.
The Stolen Lovelight by Tara Abbamondi and Paul Abbamondi- I was really looking forward to picking up this collaboration, and it turned out brilliantly. Excellent story, gorgeous drawings, and a really good read.
Inside the Slow Spiral by Jon Allen- I want to learn to balance inks and a single grey tone half as well as this comic does. Gorgeous.
Owl Time and Betsy by Sophie Goldstein- another awesome CCS student. I bought and loved her sweet short Post last year, and was really looking forward to seeing more of her work! Betsy was a sweet little work of dark sci-fi and Owl Time is just adorable. Check them out!

Bottom Row: 
Partly Cloudy by Meg Brennan- two stories in this one! Meg has a knack for writing great dialog- these are both great reads.
Beach Balloon by Andrew Fulton- one of many fantastic Australian cartoonists who are traveling around to several North American conventions this spring. The drawings in this book are so energetic, I could stare at them all day!
A Taste of Paradise by Megan Baehr- So good. I want to buy all of her newer books immediately- this was a 24-hour comic from back in 2005, and it’s excellent. She also makes adorable toys.
Poisson et Chat by Joanna Lorho and Joseph Kai- sweet little comic about a cat in over its head (forgive me, that was the worst pun).
Let me Just, Argh! & Whiskers by Kat Fajardo- Kat’s ink washes are are such a nice complement to her energetic drawings! Love these stories.
Counter Attack # 5 by Alisa Harris- Alisa’s cats are the ur-cats. Alisa catalogs their antics with incredible skill and care- you should read this!
A Series of Moments by Patricia Burgess- some very cool hourly comics.

There are a lot of people I wanted to find but didn’t make it to out of sheer overwhelemed exhaustion. I wish I were going to TCAF, too, but maybe next year!

Awh, shucks! Thanks for the nice little blurb! :) It was so good to see you again!

I had fun putting together last year’s post on all the lovely things that followed me home from Drink & Draw Like a Lady, so here goes again! Left-right and roughly top-bottom, assuming three rough rows:

Top row:
Lost Girl by Caroline Percello- lovely little drawings in this comic.
Alisa Harris’s card! Lovely cooking/ recipe comics at the linked site, and she also makes the excellent Urban Nomad and Counter-Attack! series.
Marion Vitus not only makes sweet illustrations and comics, but she also acted as the photographer for DDLL this year!
Alice Meichi Li makes pretty illustrations.
9 PM by Melanie Gillman is full of this lush colored pencil work that you’ve gotta see to believe. Great stuff.
Patricia Burgess’s card says she’s a swell lady, and I agree!
Laura Kovalcin does cool costume design as well as illos.
Wendy M. Xu makes some cute daily drawings.
Jane Archer throws around these rich saturated colors like it’s nothing! They’re great.

Middle row: 
Kelly Phillips and Claire Folkman put together a Dirty Diamonds preview for DDLL this year! It’s awesome and they’re awesome too.
Lucy Knisley (who continues to be a lovely, brilliant DDLL host) and Raina Telgemeier (who is a font of encouraging words) put together adorable sketchbooks for everyone who donated!
The Dragon’s Wife by Angelina Fernandez is chock-full of gorgeous linolium carvings.
School of World is a comic about life, lessons, and life lessons by Megan Brennan and Rel. You should read it.

Bottom row:
Up she Goes by Amy Falcone deserves your attention both for its adorable story and its lovely artwork!
Kristin Kemper’s illlustrations have a sweet soft atmosphere to them.
I’ve followed Sarah Becan’s stuff for a while and it was lovely to meet her! She’s got a kick-butt collection of comics going on at Sauceome.
Tara Abbamondi makes fantastic, articulate, crisply-drawn comics. I picked up The Stolen Lovelight (actually a collaboration with her husband, Paul) from her this year and it’s excellent- well worth a read!
Ellen Crenshaw’s hourlies were so good, I actually bought them on the show floor on Saturday too (oops :) )! Another person I followed on Twitter before ever meeting in person, but it was excellent to do so. Her hourlies are incredibly clean and composed— I should do a giveaway for my bonus copy.
Diana Mallery does really cool things with interestingly-structured comics! This one was a neat little fold-out called Motherland.
Not pictured- Melissa Zhang, who combines food and artwork into excellence.

PS- Do you have a post about your DDLL/ MOCCA 2012 comics? I’d love to see it! Hoping to put together a collection of what I bought on the show floor later tonight.

Da best.
