Interview on Strange Kids Club

Rondal Scott from over at Strange Kids Club contacted me before the holidays to do an interview, and he posted it today! Rondal describes the blog as "an online hub for assorted strange, geeky and otherwise nostalgic content." There's a lot of fun content for sure, including articles on video games, comics, toys, and movie reviews. He asked some good questions (and posted some of my artwork, HUGE), so stop by if you're interested:

Also, as 2011 gets underway, I'm slated for quite a few festivals this Spring. I found out a week ago that I got accepted as an exhibitor into this year's Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF)! So... look out, Canada! Heeby Jeeby is coming to get you! In addition to tabling there, Dan Moynihan and I will be at MoCCA in April and are looking to register for the Maine Comics Arts Festival (MeCAF) in May.

We're also pulling together artwork for Heeby Jeeby Comix #2, so look for an official announcement on that soon.

Heeby Jeeby Week!

Avoid the Future is a remarkable comics blog run by the amazing Martin & Judith, where they serve up reviews and interviews of small press and indie titles on an international scale. They asked Chris, Dan, David and I if we'd be interested in doing a group interview around Heeby Jeeby Comix. We said yes, and the result will be trickling out at a steady ramble this week on their blog—dubbed "Heeby Jeeby Week".

So, be sure to check us out, and read the truly original content Avoid the Future has to offer—a growing collection of thoughtful reviews and engaging interviews.

Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3

Cartoonist Survey by David Paccia

David Paccia recently asked me to parcipate in a Cartoonist Survey, where I answer a bunch of questions about art and cartooning. I'm entry #67, currently featured on the front page of the site. If you ever wanted to know if I'm a righty or a lefty, now's your chance.

He even managed to write up a great bio on me—I guess by scouring the corners of the internet. And he dug up this photo (I'm guessing from my FableVision bio, which could use an update). Yep, that's what I look like. I don't know who the dork in the jeans and glasses is next to me, though.

Thanks to Chris Sabatino for pointing David my way. Definitely read up on all the cartoonists who've contributed to the survey so far—lots of interesting info to dig through. And thank you, David.

Interview on Ink Mountain

A little over a week ago I was contacted by illustrator and cartoonist Phil McAndrew to do an interview for his fantastic new group blog, Ink Mountain.

I talk about my work, my infleunces, my job at FableVision, and issues concerning Nick Mag. I'm biased, but I think it came out great. And it features a bunch of my artwork. It's a bit more personal than the more process-focused Q&A recently featured on The Tools Artists Use (also a fun interview if you haven't seen it yet). Phil did a great job presenting me with thoughtful questions, and I did my best to give interesting answers.

Also, I would encourage you to check out the blog itself. The current list of contributors includes Phil, Britt Wilson, Graham Kahler, Kate Beaton, and Vicki Nerino. They're doing a great job digging up inspirational work so far, with a special focus on individual artists.

Interview on The Tools Artists Use

Bill Turner of The Tools Artists Use recently asked me if I'd be interested in participating in a Q&A for his blog. Here's a link to the interview.


The website features a bunch of talents artists who share insight into the methods they use to create their artwork. It's a wonderful resource for anyone interested in process. You should also check out Comic Tools, a blog I also frequent where Matt Bernier and "MK" delve into the tools involved in making comics.
