I have a new comix slideshow cycle - Down the Shore - included in the first ever issue of Long Division. This project was a lot of fun. Founding Editor, Lareese Hall, asked different kinds of artists to respond to Ed Ruscha's Twentysix Gasoline Stations on its 50th anniversary. The result is a whole new kind of artist's book.
Ruscha's project started me thinking about my home state of New Jersey and New Jersians' odd relationships with cars and driving. While I was working on this last summer, my favorite boardwalk town, Seaside Heights, burned. This panel is my little goodbye to the most recent Seaside Heights. Since it's already survived Snooki and Sandy, I know it will be back in a new form by summertime.
