Bon Voyage… again!
Sorry for the long radio silence. I just finished putting the final touches on Courtney #10, and now I’m off to France again for Angouleme Festival, as well as Toulouse, Bordeaux, Brive, and a gallery showing in Pau. Stay tooned (see what I did there) for a big announce coming up in the next month or so. Until then…

Bon Voyage!
I will be heading off to France today to attend Saint-Malo’s Comics Festival, Quai Des Bulles. I’m also making stops in Lyon, Besançon, Annecy, and Grenoble. Drop in a say hello if you’re in any of these locations. The password to win a little watercolor piece is “Pamplemousse.” But only one will be given out per day. For all you other folks that don’t live in France, I will hopefully be posting pics of all the lovely sites, shops, and meals you’ll be missing. That is, if I can manage to get ahold of a prepaid sim card, or get access to free wifi (which, in Europe, is like finding…

New York Comic Con
So here’s the thing. Most of the time, I’m drawing my various books, like Courtney. I’d love to post some of that up here, but that might spoil the surprises, and there are lot of surprises in store. In my spare time, I do a lot of other sketches, drawings, etc. that aren’t related to Batman, but most of them are ideas for projects I have in the works. As much as I’d love to post them, I don’t want to share them before they’re done, because that might spoil the soup, as it were. So please indulge my little hobby. Anyway, I hope you like the results. In any…

A Touch of Color
I’ve been experimenting with watercolors for the first time in years. Once upon a time I filled sketchbooks with color experiments. But after over a decade, my technique has gotten rusty, and I have to relearn to wrangle physical color media in my spare moments. It’s been slow going, since Courtney keeps my pretty busy, but I might try my hand at doing acrylic painting again soon. In the mean time, my color sketches have been pretty fun. And yes, I’m taking the occasional commission.

Courtney #5 in Stores
Courtney Crumrin issue #5 is out today. Hit up your local store for a copy. Or get your digital copy here! Some quick info about Courtney #5. Originally, when setting out to do the next series, I’d conceived it in a similar way to previous issues, as a stand-alone aside before the main story began. Little did I know that Oni’s editor in chief, James Lucas Jones, had big plans for Courtney this year. Specifically, I didn’t know the ongoing series would be in color, or that all the previous volumes would be re-issued in a huge promotional campaign to celebrate the series’ 10th anniversary. In short, I thought the…
