Status Update (Patreon)

Hello my friends, my awesome friends. Hope your summer was great. My summer was ok, this year has been weird. I miss being a kid when summers were so magical. I did see fireflies and swam in the ocean twice, so that was cool. The sight of school buses yesterday made my stomach drop. School suxx!

Just wanted to update you guys on my goings-on. All summer I've been hard at work on a mural at Ioka Valley Farm. This place is next door to my house, and I've known them since I was little. In high school and college I baby sat and did odd jobs for them, including painting a lot of the signs that are scattered around the farm. I was thrilled to get to paint this mural! It's HUGE and a lot of work but I'm having fun. I've never done anything like it before. Maybe I should turn it into a business. 

The mural has been taking up a lot of my studio time. Also, Chuck and I are moving in a few weeks (AAAH) so things are in upheaval and I haven't gotten a lot of time to sit at my desk. We aren't moving far away or anything, but still. Moving. I miss  The Weight when I'm not able to work on it all the time. Nothing is as fulfilling as writing and drawing stories. My heart is full after a day of drawing comics. In our new place we will have our own studios though, and I'm excited about getting that set up. 

Also, next weekend is SPX (AAAAAH) and I will be there at the Alternative Comics table and at Radiator Comics occasionally as well. This is the first year in like, 8 years of going that Chuck and I have not had our own table. Weird! I will have issues 4 & 5 for sale. 

Last but not least, here is an interview I did with Alex Deuben, where I talk about myself and my work and process and The Weight and stuff. 

Love,

M
