So here goes! Tomorrow evening I'm doing my first ever comics reading, at the Cartoon Art Museum starting at 7 p.m. I think I'm third in the line-up, which ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/09/02/sf-zine-fest-2010/ I moved from San Francisco to the East Bay last summer, and while I do like Joanna Newsom -- and even San Francisco! -- I think this is an apt critique of the city and the woman. San Francisco has a major chip on its shoulder. Anything that comes out of ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/08/26/in-which-we-acknowledge-the-chip/ I've been up to all sorts of no good lately, but before I update you on all that, why not take a gander at this sweet little cartoon Rina Piccolo whipped up, inspired by my twit wit. This is only one among many, and hopefully many more to come. I think ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/08/18/tweetin-and-toonin/ This week and next I'll be guest-blogging about San Francisco neighborhoods, real estate, transit and other pertinent junk over at Curbed SF. You might remember I was the editor of Curbed SF back in 2008. It's kind of fun to be back on my old beat, but I'd forgotten how ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/06/01/other-blogs-other-places/ Dylan Williams of Sparkplug Comics gave Notes on Conflict and Remainders a pretty stellar and thoughtful review over at his blog Further Examination. I'm down to my last 25 copies or so of This is What Concerns Me, Remainders and Favorites and I'm still on the fence about whether or not ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/05/23/punk-rock-comix/ The Bay Area was out in full force at this year's Stumptown Comics Festival in Portland, Oregon. We had an action-packed table, with all sorts of new comics, including my new full-color Israel travelogue Notes on Conflict, which is now up for sale in the store. Look how excited we ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/04/29/stumptown-2010-redux/ Stumptown was super great and I am super fried. I'll be writing up a piece on the festival this week for the Daily Crosshatch, as well as, I'm sure, some extra blogging here. But for now, I leave you with this little gem. Not too awkward, right? Sorry, Comic-Con. http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/04/26/stumping-it-up/ I'll be posting more of these in the coming days. http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/04/17/more-israel-diary/ This is my comic that will debut at Stumptown next weekend in Portland, Oregon. Full-color, 24-pages, con special price of $5. You pay that much for xeroxed shit! 'Cause you're a sucker! I mean, no, because you're a patron of the arts!! I'll be tabling with local favorites Melanie Lewis, Damien ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/04/16/news-comics-events-et-al/ For those of you who might be interested in keeping abreast of the more personal topics I sometimes cover on this blog, I suggest you check out this new ridiculous thing I am doing, wherein I don't eat any goddamn food for a month. I've undertaken a 30-day juice fast ... http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2010/03/23/super-juice-me-a-30-day-experiment/
