Returned to Brooklyn

Jess and I just got back Sunday. We had a wonderful summer (though I didn’t get to do as much blacksmithing as I hoped). We were sad to leave, but it was time to go. You can’t bum off your friends and family forever…

A few awesome things happened. My wife received a teaching position at the Excellence Boys Charter School in Brooklyn. She is going to be surrounded by incredible teachers, who care a great deal about their kids; and she will also be working towards her Masters Degree (something which the school requires and helps pay for). Although she’s a bit intimidated, she definitely has was it takes to educate and love on these kids.

I also received my first paid, printed editorial illustration job. It’s a cover illustration for Isthmus | The Daily Page in Madison WI. Carolyn Fath, the Art Director there was wonderful to work with, and I was really excited about the opportunity. I’ll post the illustration here when the magazine gets published later this month.

I also had another illustration on KillScreenDaily.com. They just had an awesome gaming party at the MoMA, which I’m very sorry I was unable to attend.

In the meantime, I’ve also been hard at work on comics. My story is coming to an end, though I’m not finished yet. Here are the latest two pages, I’m very excited about them.
