MoCCA 2008






Here's some photos from last weekend's Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Festival; it's an amazing showcase for alternative and independantly published sequential art. The first photo shows the famous Molly Crabapple and Fred Harper hard at work on some commissioned drawings or whatnot. The second is the Lovely Julia- singer, songwriter, and great figure-model for artists, watching over Crabapple's table. The third is the great Kim Deitch signing and drawing in my book oh his- "Shadowland". It's really a great book; nicely drawn, very creative story-telling and very engaging. The forth is one of Tara McPherson who does some great illustration and the fifth is one of Alec Longstreth standing tall. He has a great comic called "PHase 7". Check all of these people out!

Thanks, Cam. Sure, no problem- I'll call you again to have a more extensive conversation...
Yeah, maybe I'll get another comic done by then.
