I’m in a show at Lodge Gallery and one at ABC No Rio that are complementary shows to the Real Estate Show at James Fuentes Gallery.

News and more
The annual MoCCA fest was last weekend, and it was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures on PW Comics World, many taken by me, many by Calvin. Many more pictures on flickr, probably more than anyone needs to see.
Arduino Day
I made a presentation on using comics to teach technology at Arduino Day at ITP. It was fun, despite the horrible cold I had. Make streamed it live, the whole event is on youTube. Here’s a pdf of my presentation.
This was a great weekend for comics. On Friday evening, Calvin, Karen Green and Steven Heller received the first annual Push and Kick Award at the Society for Illustrators.
Saturday was Comics Arts Brooklyn, a great show sort of reincarnated from Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival.
A few pictures.
I first spoke with Red when I was an incoming student at ITP and found that she was my advisor. I was a little afraid of her, I had encountered her at a group interview for applicants to ITP and I remember her brusqueness with some at the meeting who seemed to be trying to anticipate her views on culture and technology ( “The book is dead” followed by Red’s retort “I love books!”). She was warm and generous, and I looked forward to our chats every semester during advisement.
I came to know her much better over the years. Red was bluntly honest, fierce and compassionate. She was a mentor to me, as she was to so many others. Her vision of technology and technologists evolving from disciplines other than engineering, her ability to create an atmosphere of collaboration and experimentation made ITP a very special place. ITP has managed to stay on the forefront of technology while employing an extraordinary faculty and staff who are both very smart and very kind. Red wouldn’t have it any other way.
San Diego Comic Con 2013
San Diego Comic Con is always fun. Here are a few pictures.
I am a Hellboy fan!
Capes were big this year, in fact we all got one when we checked in with our con swag bags.
Neil Gaiman was on a Will Eisner panel with other comics luminaries.
Lots of steampunk cosplay this year.
I love Plants vs. Zombies and actually waited in line to get a bag.
Legos!
Congressman John Lewis has written a graphic memoir with Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell. A beautiful book- here is Congressman Lewis with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
If you want to see an unedited and very large selection of pictures, my flickr set is here.
ITP Camp 2013
I am having fun at ITP camp in June, as usual. There have been many great sessions and I am fooling around with laser cutting. Here are some pictures of the laser cut chain mail I have been making.
Press about Refashioned
There were a couple of news articles in Florida about my show and the other shows at the Boca Raton Museum of Art during the same time slot. A piece about my show in Art Districts Magazine. The Sun Sentinel had an article about my show and a drawing/photography exhibition.  There’s a mention of Refashioned towards the end of the article in the Palm Beach Post. There’s also a blog post on the museum site, scroll down.
