SEE ME IN THE FUNNY PAPERS!

This weekend I make my graphic fiction debut--thanks to Marianne R. Petit!

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know how very much I admire Marianne's work. So you can just imagine how excited I am to be involved with her Participatory Book Series project.

Not very long ago, Marianne asked people to share certain types of stories that she would then convert into graphic fiction narrative form. I made a little "My First Job" submission that she adapted for her collection Working Nine to Five, Vol. 1 (pictured), which will make its debut at the MoCCA Art Festival 2007 at the Puck Building this weekend. If you go, be sure to admire and buy it; if not, stay tuned for info on how to acquire it otherwise.

Other Blog About Town favorites scheduled to be at the MoCCA ArtFest: Bill Roundy and Mark Newgarden and Megan Montague Cash (on Saturday from 3-4 pm).
