The Sketchtravel Exhibit is on it's way to the Kyoto International Manga Museum, but to make it happen some funds need to be raised. I've contributed a couple of my Bookplate Betties books with original drawings in them. If you're interested you can find the Ebay auction here: [link]
and here: [link]
Check out the rest of the auction too, there's a lot of cool stuff: [link]

I'm going to be at the Alternative Press Expo [link] in San Francisco this weekend. You can find me at one of the Red Window tables 526, 527 or 528.

I'll also have a fresh supply of Banana Girl statues on hand!

Banana Girl Statues are once again available for order over on my blog: [link]

More pics: [link]

Banana Girl pre-orders are now closed. Regular orders will resume in the near future though, so keep your eyes on this space.

To those who pre-ordered the Banana Girl statue, I want to give an update on your order. As you have probably noticed there has been a slight delay in the manufacturing, I was expecting them to ship by the end of June. I apologize for the wait, but it's nearly over. I've received conformation that they will ship early next week, possibly even as early as Monday July 9th. If you ordered the nude variant, it will ship even sooner. This week I was told. Again, thank you so much for your patience.

My Banana Girl [link] is now a statue! [link]
   Sculpted by my friend Anders Ehrenborg [link] in association with Digital Banana Studio [link]. As I write this she is well into production with a ship date of late June this year. She stands 6 1/2" tall (Including the base) and is individually numbered and limited to an edition of 225 copies. As well as a nude variant that is limited to an edition of 25.

   A limited quantity is now available for pre-order, once they're ready they'll ship directly from the manufacturer to you.

It looks like I've already sold my entire supply of Comix Buro Presing: Sketchbooks. They went much faster than I anticipated.

If you missed out, don't worry, I'm expecting a new shipment of inventory from the publisher. As soon as I get them I'll put them back up for sale on the blog. [link]

If you already ordered your copy before I disabled the button, no worries, it's coming.
Thanks for waiting!

I have a limited supply of my sketchbooks from Comix Buro and they're for sale over on my blog  [link]
Just click the "add to cart" button on the right hand side of the blog.

They're all signed and numbered to an edition of 900. 48 pages, about 7 x 8 1/2 inches. Contains almost entirely unpublished material and even some stuff I've never even put on the internet.

I've donated my Kimono piece [link] to Artists Help Japan [link]

It's a charity movement initiated by my friend Dice Tsutsumi [link] responding to the immediate needs of earthquake & tsunami survivors as well as short-term to long-term recovery projects undertaken by the affected communities.

The original art is now up for auction on Ebay here [link] until April 5th, as well as many other pieces by my fellow Pixarians. Check it out. [link]

I'll be attending the comics festival in Angoulême France [link] at the end of the month, January 26th - 29th. You should be able to find me at the Comix Buro booth [link] signing my new sketchbook! [link]
Hope to see you there!

Instead of attending the San Diego Comic con this year, I'll be going to Tr!ckster.
[link]
You'll find it conveniently across the street from the San Diego convention center.

If you haven't heard about it, it's a retail space: specializing in creator owned wares including small run and limited edition books, fine art prints, toys, clothing, and more. As well as an art gallery space and a series of symposia focused on creator driven demonstrations and discussions.
Should be pretty neat-o.
I'll be there Friday and Saturday but it goes all the way from Tuesday JULY 19 to Sunday JULY 24, 2011.

Hosted at the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center
200 Harbor Drive, Suite 120
San Diego, CA 92101

If you're going to Comic con go across the street and check it out.

For those of you in the Bay area who might be interested, I'll be signing at ACTION FIGURE FREDDY this Friday, that's July 16th from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 pm.

I'll be signing and selling books and prints along with my friend and fellow Pixarian Josh Cooley.

There is a chance that we'll have our playing card deck with us. That's right, "54 Intercontinental Cuties". Only, and let me stress "only", if we get them in time. They may in fact arrive from the printer all the way from China on that very day. If they do, you will get a chance to pick up the card set before anyone at Comic-con and make them insanely jealous. But only if they arrive. No promises.

Action Figure Freddy is a cool store in San Francisco that sells toys, collectibles and art. They're located at 112 Waverly Place in San Francisco's Chinatown.
