Marooned

Hey y'all! The last two things I got to do were in LA, these two things are in New York!:

1) I got to put a page o' comics in the new issue of Smoke Signal #5, Desert Island's terrific all-comics newspaper, available for FREE at their Brooklyn spot. Not nearby? Pretty soon it'll be in their webshop, for the price of postage.

All of these folks are in it: Gabrielle Bell, Ken Brown, William Cardini, Vanessa Davis (that's me!), Michael DeForge, Inés Estrada, Tom Gauld, Nate Gelgud, Lisa Hanawalt, Leah Hayes, Sam Henderson, Michael Kupperman, Tim Lane, Ben Marra, Taylor McKimens, Jesse McManus, Jason T. Miles, Travis Millard, Kris Mukai, Puppi, Tim Sinaguglia, Joel Skavdahl, Joshua Ray Stephens, Matthew Thurber, James Turek, and Malachi Ward.

2) SECOND news item is I've got a couple of Post-Its in the fun show Post-Its V at Giant Robot New York, which is opening June 19, 6:30-10pm. I've always wanted to go to one of these openings and snap up amazingly inexpensive great artwork by really great cartoonists and illustrators. I'm happy to be in this one with a bunch of great buddies I admire (including my beau, Trevor Alixopulos) as well as really fancy people and people I don't know at all. It's a smorgasbord! Get it!
