NMSD-17 goes back to school!

My Small Web Page — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:30:32 +0000

I recently received an unexpected email from a professor (Jarod Roselló) at Penn State regarding NMSD-17. It seems he likes to incorporate comics into his curriculum and was on the prowl for an appopriate anthology for his class. His students are actually future high school teachers, making NMSD-17 an even more ideal choice. NMSD-17 is now required text in a class of 25 college students and I'm just thrilled!

Says Roselló: "The course is LLED 411 - Secondary Language Arts I in the College of Education and is part of the teaching certification program for secondary education English majors. We're using the text as a way to pedagogically investigate the medium of comics and as a way to think about what it means to be a high school student."

Roselló is a great artist in his own right and has been invited to be a contributor to NMSD-18 once a theme has been selected.

My First Window Display

Naked Art Gallery asked me to do a window display for one of their main windows. I've never done one before but didn't hesitate to try. I created a 3-piece city skyline and clouds out of wood & paint. I added a few items from the gallery and a couple items from home (lamp, travel case, hat, wig) and voila, a window was born!

Artwalk brush with celebrity

I just wrapped up another successful Artwalk in downtown Birmingham. I had a special customer this time - original MTV VJ Alan Hunter who lives in town. He picked out a piece of art for his daughter. He was being followed by a cameraman filming Alan & family for a possible reality show!

I recently did the graphic design for a traveling Bob Hope exhibition. Now it's going to be on display in London during the Olympics! It opens July 13, 2012 to the public and runs through Oct 28 at the Greenwich Heritage Center in South London... and it's free!

I was recently one of the featured artists in the Self Portrait show at Naked Art Gallery. My piece was featured on the marketing materials. To my surprise the gallery owner put prices on each self portrait. My best friend Bobby ended up buying mine without me knowing it!

Autobio Rules!

I have a new comic in the upcoming 'Kindlin' Quarterly' #7. This issue has an autobiographical theme (my favorite!). I'll be in good company with other NMSD artists Chad Woody, Edward Bolman, Dave Kiersh and M Young along with many other artists.
