autumnal bits

okay, goodbye again, cyber-world.

scraps

hey folks!
it's been a long time!
i forgot to mention last time that clare will be at this thing in nola:
Just to recap on the details, the exhibit will run September 11 - November 30 at Trouser House. The installation is a two-room environment comprising a zine library and reading area. On September 18, Trouser House will host a zine-making workshop for teens at the New Orleans Public Library Alvar Branch.

other than that i am back in austin, thanks to everyone's support when i had a bit of trouble a couple weeks ago.

i'm working on a zine right now(in lieu of going to the ida work party), so i'm going to try to finish that before week's end.
until next time.

nesting

hello everybody! it's been so long since i have posted and while many things have changed, some things did not so much, like my usage of technology.
so, one of the changes is that a dear friend and i decided to do something relatively easy: play house! this may possibly be the first time i've signed on a lease, unless i did once over a decade ago. anyway, we have beautiful girls:



and the creature in the background is my friend tally-ho:



she poked out one of her eyes two weeks ago, but she doesn't seem to mind. i don't have a picture of that cuz i haven't used/seen my camera in two months, when i took all of these pictures.

what does any of this have to do with comics, you ask? well, not a whole lot except for distraction and inspiration. it really has been a crazy couple of months and that's just the lovely tip of the iceberg. and i will only include the lovely things here and now. back in april we of the house held a fund-raising car wash for the work hard stay hard work party happening this fall, where i think am registered to be captain of chainsaws and hopefully will be able to get my butt in gear to make a basic safety and maintenance booklet. here is a flyer i made for the carwash:



well, this is old news:



last march i printed another mini-comic, called clare, to take with me to staple!, that was held here in austin. staple!, by the way, seemed rather dudely to me, kinda more mainstream than i was expecting. but an odd aside, last night i visited some friends who're house-sitting for someone i do not know and i noticed some of auntie lynda barry's books on the shelf that didn't seem to contain many comics, and then i found a copy of my beauty patrol there as well, with a staple! program. kinda some small and unknown circles going here? anyway, clare--very limited print run on this one.
here's some of what it looks like:





also, another friend is putting together an anthology, and i just about buried my pages in the forgotten dust long ago, but finally finished them and sent them on--old fashioned style snail mail, since i am still lacking scanner access. i did a short 7-page piece and then i also did a one-pager. usps, please do not lose these!
here is a preview of the seven page story:



okay, that's all i have for now. have a good solstice, everyone. take a bow, twinkie ding-dong!
