Please enjoy my contribution to the Prison for Bitches Lady GaGa Fanzine edited by Ryan Sands and Michael Deforge.
Do yourself a favor and order a copy. Even if, like me and Michel Gondry, you find the lady a little blah blah, there is an AMAZING contributors list.
Congratulations to Calvin, who’s hi-larious Hattie & Mille made the 2009 Best Comics list and to Dan, who is saving the werewolves!
Also, Ryan Sands‘ Electric Ant Zine 2 ft. many of my favorite folks is out now too (full list of contributors).
AND, December 1st the new R. Kelly album is out. Can’t wait to hear the final mix of ‘Pregnant‘!
And, finally, did you see all the Google Sesame Street Logos? I designed those, man!
For the first time eva, I’ll be on a panel at APE this year. The topic is “The ABCs and Zs: The SF Bay Area Scene of Comics, Zines, Community, and Everything in Between” on Saturday at 12:45-1:30.
Mostly I’ll be rapping about the iGoogle Comics Themes campaign, but will certainly also be giving a shout out to the premiere of the Electric Ant Zine Issue 2, at the Bang Gang table (#418) — all of which I am proudly a part.

If you need more evidence that I am a geek, my college bff Dan Redding just posted an interview with me in the blog department of his new and lovely design site Magnetic State.
Check it out for a great chance to comment tl;dr.
Holidays in the homeland were a good time and I’ve got the photos to prove it.
The stickers I designed & illustrated for Gmail are now for the gettin’. All you gotta do is send in a self-addressed stamped envelope. Details on the Official Gmail Blog.
The Alternative Press Expo last month was a hoot! Germart represented with the debut of Dyl & Nate’s Planet Booty album and Consumer Comics Vol. 1, which I put together with a cameo by Miki Amano.
It was also heartening to see the hilarious new mini-comic “Ramble On” from Calvin Wong, the purty, smack talkin’ “Jin & Jam” fancy comic by Hellen Jo, and the worth-waiting-for and very pink Electric Ant Zine.

The cover photo shoot for Dylan and Nathan’s soon-to-be-finished “Planet Booty” album spontaneously added a crew of lady folk who just happened to be dolled-up and ready to strut in the Berkeley Hills too.
Thanks to good sports and new friends Kandace, Rachael, Ashely, and Cavan.

I taught a ten-week comics class to five rad sixth graders this spring.
But, you say, I thought you were too busy to do anything outside your job? Well, Citizen Schools actually bussed the students to the Googleplex.
The result is 32 pages of comics awesomery covering topics as diverse as sausage with utters, bacon with hands, samurai pigs, the non-knowing bear, and global warming. On second thought, all these topics seem pretty closely related.
