Me and Ariel Schrag will be celebrating our new books and drawing portraits at Desert Island Comics. Come by! 540 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, seven to nine

Here is the Facebook event.

And, if you’re anywhere around Summit, New Jersey, I’ll be part of Getting Graphic event, with many other great cartoonists like Lauren Weinstein and Julia Alekseyeva and many more.

I’ve had some comics up on Spiral Bound, the classic How I Make my Comics, a comic   about a humiliating heartbreak, a comic about John Porcellino, a comic about meditation, And a comic about teaching but more about footwear. Also on the New Yorker site is another humiliating heartbreak story. That’s what I get for putting myself out there. Also, this weekend I’ll be at the Autoptic Festival in Minneapolis. Tonight there will be a kickoff art show at the Light Grey Art Labs, which is at 118 E 26th St, Ste 101 Minneapolis, Minnesota, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

If you’re still hungry for more comics, there are some on my Instagram page, which are selections from my Patreon page.

If you’re a long time follower, you might’ve noticed that there’s been no July Diary this year. I’m going to a meditation retreat soon, where I won’t be allowed to draw any comics, so I drew the annual comic in advance, in June, and posted it covertly on my Patreon account. I prefer to give my comics freely, and it’s not my favorite thing to put up a paywall, but I find that it suits my shyness and the personal exploration in my work. Also my financial needs. Here is one of the better pages from last month:

Hello

Between my Instagram, Patreon, Facebook and occasional Twitter, I pretty much forgot to regularly update my blog.

Here are a couple events I’ll be doing in the next week:

-On Tuesday, June 12th The Hand of Comedy in Bushwick, hosted by Claudia Cogan. I’ll be performing a bunch of funny and probably inappropriate animal comics, kind of like the one below.

-Then on Thursday, June 14th I’ll be performing with the stellar line-up of Michael Kupperman, Lauren Weinstein and Ron Rege Jr. at Greenlight Bookstore. I’ll present a different set of comics for this one, less comedic, more dramatic.

-Ron Rege, Jr has a new book out and will also be doing an event at Desert Island on Wednesday, June 13th, to celebrate his new book, The Weaver Festival Phenomenon.

And if you haven’t seen it, I had a comic recently on the New Yorker shouts site, about Tinder, which seems to have struck a chord among all the lonely people everywhere.

-I’ve also had a couple comics featured on the comics site Spiralbound, and will have another one coming up there soon!

That’s about it for now!

Over on my Etsy page, I’m slashing the prices on my books and posters for the holidays AND including free preliminary sketch pages with Everything is Flammable and Truth is Fragmentary. ALSO Truth is Fragmentary is only ten dollars.*  AM I CRAZY?! No, this is just how business works during the holiday season!!!

*NOTE: Truth is Fragmentary is temporarily sold out, and the deal will be on again as soon as it’s restocked. Apologies.
