The Zine Machine


This month I came across the zine machine, a vending machine at the University of Iowa Library that has been converted to dispense zines. I've been a fan of the art-o-mat project for some time, so I was quite interested to see something like this. I've sent off some of my comics that should appear in the machine soon.

Jumpman


There's a new free game you can download called Jumpman. It seems like a simple retro game, but has some great levels and twists. I was so impressed with it that I decided to create the game cover above just for kicks. Game creator Andrew McClure has graciously put my art on the ever expanding jumpman level database page.

True/False film fest 2009


Director Darius Marder talks about his film Loot at the Macklanburg Theatre.

This year I was a volunteer for the local True/False film fest, which just took place last weekend. I was on the screening committee, so a few months ago I watched a bunch of documentary movies and gave them a critical eye. I spent a fair amount of time brushing up my writing skills by writing summaries of all the films I watched. Most of the films I screened didn't make it into the fest, so I ended up watching way too many films during the fest last weekend.

My favorite film that I saw at the fest was Loot. It was a great movie to watch with an audience; funny, poignant, and unpredictable. To top it off, the Q & A afterward with the director was just as interesting as the movie.

Mission for Margaret


This is a roller derby poster for the COMO Derby Dames. It was penciled by one of the roller girls and I was brought in to ink and color it. I don't usually work off of pencils, or get the chance to do color, so this was quite the experiment.

Local story on Izzy


The weekly Vox Magazine ran an article about Izzy and the 50 state jam this month. I thought the reporter did a good job with the story and even got interviews from a few of the contributing cartoonists including T. Motley, Tom Cherry, Jason Jam & Jason Reeves.
