Spent the day at this event at Columbia University. It was great; nice to be in a room where people are talking about the ideas embedded in comics. There were a lot of symposia like this a few years ago (remember SPLAT?). But they are scarce nowadays. Peter Kuper and Dennis Kitchen were on a panel. Here they are in my sketchbook.

One of the best things in the world is to go out with friends to a restaurant have a good meal and draw. Something about the camaraderie, food and wine makes for good drawing.

I recently designed the interior for Simon and Schuster’s two forthcoming John Carter titles Mars Trilogy and Under The Moons of Mars. For Under the Moons I also did an illustration.

The series editor,  John Joseph Adams interviewed the artists and writers involved in the project. Here’s a link to my interview. My piece of art that I talk about in the interview is below.
