Let me pause from filming this Three’s Company reboot to share a few things:
(Yes, that was at New York Comic Con last weekend. Where else?)
Oct. 15 & 16 in Brooklyn: I’m participating in Gowanus Open Studios on Saturday and Sunday from 12-6 p.m. Visit my workspace at TI Art Studios (183 Lorraine St.), and you can see where I write, draw and procrastinate — AND you can pick up a copy of DIARY COMIX 2022, which just arrived from the printer!
You can also meet my Nightwork Studio partner Dean Haspiel and cartoonist Jason Goungor, both of whom will have art and comics for sale. There are 100+ artists on our floor alone, so expect to spend lots of time wandering, perusing art and eating snacks.
On Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. I’ll be attending the FINAL PERFORMANCE of Dean Haspiel’s fantastic play, The War of Woo. It has been getting fantastic reviews. There are only three shows left, so grab tix now.
Oct. 22 film screening in NYC: My film DENNY BARRACUDA will make its New York premiere at Cinema Village as part of the New York Shorts International Film Festival. Tickets are now on sale for the 2 p.m. screening, and they’re going FAST.
Oct. 28-30 at Baltimore Comic Con: Come see me in Baltimore, where I will officially debut DIARY COMIX 2022. Thanks to Dean Haspiel, Jeffrey Burandt and Sean Von Gorman who were kind enough to give me space at their table.
New children’s book: As you may know, I have many kids’ books available on Epic, the fantastic children’s reading platform. My latest, Where in the World? With Samir and Amrit, is perfect for early readers. Illustrator Alejandro Mesa does a stellar job with this series, and I just finished another one that will be out in a few months.
This week I was lucky to attend the launch party for Nick Offerman’s new edition of Lagauvlin whiskey. We drank, ate and drank some more:
Also, I posted 30+ new diary comics on Patreon! You can support my creative work over there for as little as $2/month.
On a sad note, last week my uncle, Michael Lollar, passed away in Memphis, Tenn. Mike was a a beloved father and grandfather who had a 44-year career as a reporter at the Commercial Appeal, where he wrote about everything under the hot Memphis sun (including Elvis). Rest in peace, Uncle Mike.
Thanks for reading, and I’ll see ya soon (maybe in person!).
xoxo
