TCAF (Toronto Comic Arts Festival) comics! They are pretty silly, but I wanted to say that I had a really wonderful time at TCAF. I got to see some awesome comic peeps and the response to my comics (Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong debuted there) was AMAZING. So many people saying they loved my work! It was a bit overwhelming, actually. ^^;;

Thanks to everyone who came by my table & came to my panels. Thanks to the wonderful organizers and volunteers who make TCAF an inspiring comics festival! Whenever I am at TCAF, I see nothing but good things for comics, which is pretty much the best feeling you can ever have about this thing I have made my career, my life, my passion. 

Also, love to my boyfriend Tim, who has been to four previous TCAFs with me as support. Hopefully next year we’ll be exhibiting together as a comics couple. ;)

My awesome friend Miriam has drawn some fantastic Fake Ending Comics for Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong (previously she drew Fake Ending Comics for Friends With Boys)! They are super hilarious and you can read the first one on the NCPGW site (there are 2 more comics which will go up Tuesday and Wednesday). Check ‘em out!! Also, today is the last day for the NCPGW pre-order campaign! If you’re going to get the book, why not pre-order & possibly win cool stuff? Yes, you totally want to do that, of course!

Guys I will be at Stumptown Comic Festival this weekend!!! I’m very excited, so excited! (And slightly nervous. Am I cool enough for Stumptown? Probably not but whatever!)I will be at table O01 and will have some things for sale, copies of Friends With Boys, Bigfoot Boy and The Adventures of Superhero Girl. I may have original artwork and prints, but I’m not sure at this point. Depends on what I can fit in my luggage. I would be happy to sign/draw in any books you bring with you. Dark Horse Comics will have copies of The Last of Us: American Dreams issue #1 for sale, and also additional copies of Superhero Girl.  Here’s my schedule: Saturday: 2pm- Signing with Dark Horse at the Dark Horse booth. Bring whatever books you want, and there will be copies of The Last of Us:American Dreams #1 there. Room B111, 3-3:45pm Making Comics for Love & Money Transitioning from making comics as a hobby to a full time job is a terrifying journey Faith Erin Hicks made over 5 years ago. Hicks (The Adventures of Superhero Girl) and fellow artist Becky Cloonan will share what they have learned while making that transition, the importance of art related day jobs, making comics for yourself, the enduring question of art school, attracting editors, and what you might have to give up to make comics your career.  (Me n’ Becky, talkin’ up some comics, aw yes.) Sunday, Room B111, 3-3:45pm Looking Past the Target Audience: Gender, Race, and Geek Conflicts over exclusion, and identity politics, and what makes a “real” geek have exploded into the mainstream media. Creators, curators, community leaders, and critics on the front lines including Rachel Edidin, Andy Khouri, Scotty Iseri, David Walker, Faith Erin Hicks, and Sfé M. examine the fight over geek identity and barriers to diversity in geek communities and media; and propose concrete steps toward a diverse and inclusive geek culture.  (I hope to be educated a bit by this panel! Should be interesting.) Please come say hi to me! Who else will be there?

Tumblrs, my newest graphic novel (co-made with Prudence Shen) is out in about a month! We are doing a pre-order campaign and it has fabulous prizes if a certain number of pre-orders is reached. You can win things like a First Second prize pack (a pile of comics by NCPGW’s publisher, First Second), original sketches (you choose what I draw!) and even a NCPGW mini-sequel written by Prudence! Lots of awesome stuff. Please spread the word and please consider pre-ordering the book if you think you’ll be buying it. Pre-orders are very important and if we can get a bunch of them, it’ll mean good things for Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong (and yours truly ;)). Thanks everybody! Please share & enjoy!

Hey guys, apparently The Last of Us: American Dreams issue #1 is out today in your local comic store. I’m not actually sure why it’s out today, as it was my understanding it wasn’t supposed to be out until late April, and Dark Horse lists the publication as April 24th. So … no idea. But it is out, and I hope you’ll pick up a copy! I’m very proud of it. So much work it was! Drawing all the things! 

Here are inks from the first 6 pages of issue #1, and you can see coloured, finished pages in the preview on Comic Book Resources.

Guys, did you know I’m a guest at this year’s Stumptown Comics Festival in Portland Oregon? I am! I’m very excited, I’ve never been to Portland or this festival before, but I’ve heard good things. ;) This Superhero Girl print will be available for sale at Stumptown. It’ll be 11 by 17 and I made it special just for the show! So come to the festival, say hi to me and maybe buy a print or something. Hope to see you there! I’m actually doing quite a few comic cons/book festivals this year; I’ll post a list of where & when I’ll be at a later date.
