KCK Autumn Book Tour!

It’s that time of year again, the busiest time. I’ll be out on the road through most of September, exhibiting at Small Press Expo (SPX), Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC), and at the Lakes International Comic Art Festival (LICAF.) Then a bit of a quite October before heading back to Thought Bubble and the Denver Comics and Arts Fest (DeCAF.) At least DeCAF is in the same city I’m currently based in. 

I’ll have copies of both my new 2025 books: IN THE CITY, Part Four (the penultimate issue) and THE PLACE WE’RE IN NOW (a collection of my city artwork and architectural illustrations) as well as a few other comics and such. Hope to see you there. I’ll be the one in the hat, round glasses, and perpetual confused look on his face. 

THE PLACE WE’RE IN NOW

I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities about all. – Michelangelo

Here’s the cover illustration for my new book THE PLACE WE’RE IN NOW, a collection of my city artwork and architectural illustration I’ve done over the years. Pieces from Denver, Boston, Philadelphia, NYC, and from a few other cities that likely exist out there somewhere. 64 pages.

Copies are now available (along with a few preview pages) at my online shop. You can check them out HERE. 

What’s been going on…

Well, like most times, not a lot has been going on as well as a hell of an awful lot.

As for traveling, about a month ago I just was out and exhibiting at the Toronto Comics and Arts Fest (TCAF.) It was a brilliant weekend and Kelly’s first time in the city. A week after that, was the Denver Comics and Arts Fest (DeCAF), which was organized and put on by the Colorado Comics Collective (which I’m a member of, so there was a lot going on that weekend.)

And that was my last show for awhile. I’ll be around all summer as my next round of exhibiting trips is not til September, but that is the start of my busy season: Small Press Expo (SPX right outside DC), Denver Zine Fest, then Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC in Columbus, OH) are only a week apart from each other. After that in November, I’ll hopefully be at Thought Bubble in Harrogate, Yorkshire, UK again; as well as MiCE in Boston in early December.

As for actual new comics, the In The City, Part Three is complete and in the can. I’m just waiting on a proof from the printer before I order a full print run. So, I should hopefully have copies of the new book at SPX in September. I have some commissions and freelance work to get to, but I’m planning to start working on Part Four within the next month. Get right back up on that horse and maybe have it done before the end of the year.

Lastly, I was sitting at one of my locals a few days ago when copies of the debut issue of Denver’s new free art & culture magazine DenVERSE were dropped off. I recently did some illustration work for them, including the cover. The issue looks great and is a brilliant new addition to the local art scene. If you happen to be in Denver, look around for a copy. They’re free!
