		<title>glacial flour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your patience! It&#8217;s almost impossible to experience things (jump over rocks) and post in the same day. Yesterday, Fabio &#038; I &#038; editor Sierra Hahn &#038; painter Dan Attoe hiked through the surreal terrain carved by Mt. St. Helens&#8217; eruption. Above, the interior view. Check Fabio&#8217;s blog for the grand landscape! And wait&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>crossover event of the summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;BLOG WAR&#8221; might not be the best title. More like a &#8220;blog crossover&#8221;. Brazilian cartoonist Fábio Moon is visiting Portland, and we&#8217;ll try to document some of our activities in a back-and-forth dialog between the two blogs &#8212; blending our sketches, inking each others&#8217; drawings, etc. Yesterday, after consuming much coffee, we attended the in-store [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SPECIAL NOTE: By now, the Atlantic Center for the Arts has notified applicants of my Associate Artist selections for the October residency. I just wanted to thank everyone who submitted proposals. There was so much amazing work that it made the selection process challenging and frustrating, but also bodes well for the future of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>celebratory cigar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last page of HABIBI was completed today. It&#8217;s a bit anticlimactic, because though chapter nine is wrapped up, I still need to tackle chapter eight. Theo Ellsworth was over drawing with me, and we listened to the touching tribute to comics-great Harvey Pekar on Fresh Air. All this is happening in the midst of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My buddies in MENOMENA are releasing a new album in about a month. With their last album, FRIEND&#038;FOE, I contributed album art, and joined them for part of their European tour (and the Grammy&#8217;s). This time around, their MINES album cover made an appearance in a HABIBI panel &#8212; a studio full of idols being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just as Kirk mentioned, I&#8217;ll be doing an &#8220;artist demo&#8221; at the Portland Art Museum on June 19th, 2-4pm. It&#8217;s all part of the museum&#8217;s summer-long exhibition of Robert Crumb&#8217;s Illustrated GENESIS. For those in town, I&#8217;ll be drawing live and projected while simultaneously giving a talk. For those out of town, do pick up [...]]]></description>

		<title>the spirit of the dead keep watch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Paul Gauguin&#8216;s influenced some of my drawing lately. A) a recent pin-up for Mike Allred&#8217;s MADMAN referencing Gauguin&#8217;s 1897 painting. B) Gauguin&#8217;s &#8220;MANAO TUPAPAU&#8221; translated as &#8220;the spirit of the dead keep watch&#8221; &#8230; C) flipped backwards in a HABIBI panel this week. OTHER NOTES: 1) Last minute reminder to apply for the ACA graphic [...]]]></description>

		<title>chapter seven is finished!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First page drawn December first; Final page completed April sixth. FOUR MONTHS in-between &#8230; preceded by a five month stretch of rewrites. The good news is that only two short chapters remain &#8211; a mere 67 pages &#8211; which keeps things on track to complete the book this summer. Above&#8217;s some glimpses of the recent [...]]]></description>

		<title>stumped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Portland&#8217;s Stumptown Comics Fest is fast approaching, and I&#8217;ll be participating on Sunday, April 25th, with a signing and presentation. For those of you who are local or able to attend, I&#8217;m curious what topics, images, and formats you&#8217;re craving. It seems like the last three years I&#8217;ve just talked about progress on HABIBI &#8212; [...]]]></description>
