The Ruined Cast

This site is going to be a tumblr soon, which makes sense since it was already sort of a tumblr anyway.  Meanwhile… Frank Santoro has a comic book correspondence course. Here’s the info from the man himself: SANTORO CORRESPONDENCE COURSE FOR COMIC BOOK MAKERS SUMMER 2012 – Deadline for applications is May 30th Application guidelines: [...]

On Friday, April 8th: Strandicon Signing at The Strand at 6:00pm. On Saturday, April 9th: MoCCA Festival Room B at 2:30pm, discussion with Brecht Evans moderated by Bill Kartalopoulos. And then at 3:30 I will be signing at the Fantagraphics table. I won’t be at MoCCA on Sunday.

My comic short story Blind Date 2 appears in the forthcoming Mome Vol. 20 anthology. I drew it late last year. It’s the second Blind Date episode I’ve adapted. The first one appeared in an earlier volume of Mome and was later reprinted in The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D. collection.

This is the first cartoon I made, from 2008, for my Bottomless comic. I drew a lot of the frames at my friend Dave Kiersh’s house.
