I'll be joining Katherine Arnoldi & Russ Fedorka tonight for a panel discussion sponsored by the Pittsburgh Collaborative for Working Class Studies.  The event will be in Room 602 in the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh - 6-8PM.  We each use comics to address class, feminism and activism in different ways - it will be a lively and enlightening conversation.  Plus there will be a display of feminist/working class/queer/alternative comics out front!

I had so much fun presenting comics at the Bonfire Reading Series last month, that I decided to post these three short comics from the event as a slide show here.

I went crazy making a little book for Little Book Fair in Pittsburgh last week - A Field Guide to August.  I was nursing a nasty gash on my right elbow, so I only made a few of these.  I figured it would be a one shot very limited edition mini, but people seemed to like it, so I decided to make some more. 
I always get mopey in August.  I don't like hot weather and I feel "Back to School" season looming.  This field guide is a personal guide to the plants and insects that mean it's my least favorite month again.

I am so excited to be on a panel with some really talented and devoted small-press cartoonists at the upcoming Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh event - Drawing Power: Comics, Zines and Books in Pittsburgh and Beyond  One of the things I love about small press is that I can amble in and out of it with out feeling like an outcast.  Events like this remind me why I love comics!
