I also haven’t yet mentioned that I won’t be exhibiting at MoCCA for the first time in seven (!) years. That’s right whippersnappers: I’ve been doing that shit since 2006. I remember the festival when it was still at the Puck Building.

I def feel a little misplaced because since high school, MoCCA weekend has been the defining point of my year and the springtime is usually a frantic rush to prepare new books and prints and enlist people to staple my books and sit my table. But in the past two years I don’t feel that I’ve produced enough new content to justify shelling out $400 for a table (also: full table is the way to go unless you already have a fanbase dedicated enough to check your table number in the brochure. you will recoup your investment WAY faster even though it’s double the initial price. the extra three feet of space for people’s eyes to linger on counts for a lot. take it from a veteran). I’m also going through a phase of stepping back and re-evaluating my career. If I continue to do comics and illustration, I plan to return to MoCCA in 2014 or 2015 at the latest.

Anyway I’ll be in attendance Sunday and will be stopping by the booths of friends; can’t wait to see everyone, and if you recognize me, feel free to say hi (I’ll probably have some comics on hand for trades, etc).
