This Sunday, March 30th, there will be a little closing reception for my book at Fantagraphics Bookstore and Gallery, starting around 1:00 and going on throughout the afternoon. Basically what this means is that I'll be hanging out there and would love it if any of you dropped in to say hi!

There's a reception for my book tomorrow afternoon* at Fantagraphics during Georgetown's Art Attack! It should be a fun time to stroll about the neighborhood, as tons of studios & galleries will be open well into the night. Because my book is being featured for the month of March, I painted a site-specific mural/backdrop for the store. This photo of me was snapped yesterday just after we hung it.
*My reception was officially scheduled for 3 - 5, but because of a conflict I may not be there as soon as 3:00. Around 4:30 I may do a short talk, but the end time of 5:00 is highly fluid. It isn't until 7:00 that Fantagraphics is having its second reception, for Josh Pettinger.
Hope to see you there!

I did a site-specific mural for this presentation, which will be installed 3/6/25 and remain in the store for the month of March. I may or may not give a talk at this event, but I will be there and would love to see you!

Couth Buzzard (8310 Greenwood Ave. N.), near the 85th intersection. (It's both a bookstore and a cafe, and it smells SO good inside!)

Although it goes against my grain, I'm told I have to do it. So here I am engaging in some shameless holiday gift promotion.

Perhaps you know someone who likes graphic novels, or off-the-grid travel stories, or adventure memoirs? Here you go!

Carried Away can be purchased through Amazon, IngramSpark, or ordered from ANY bookstore. In Seattle, it is currently on the shelf at Nook & Cranny Books on 15th on Capitol Hill, at Phoenix Comics on Broadway, and at the Columbia City Gallery on Rainier Ave. (More to come.) For information, sample pages, and links to buy, take a look at the Joka Productions webpage.
