Description I went to New York Comic Con last weekend, and brought this along as a gift to my editor at First Second Books (my publisher). These are the main characters from my upcoming graphic novel Friends with Boys, which you can read about here: [link]

It was my first time in New York, and you can read about my adventures here: [link]

oh, i should note. you have such a great ability to get everyone looking.. like THEM. as in the same each time.. thats what i meen, their personalities shine through, I love the subtle changes to the noses, mouths.. jaw line.. each unique twist to make the character look origional but all kept within a consistant style. and NOT that nasty classic look females in comics always tend to have.. with the perfect faces and little noses. and that's why you rock.

Thank you. What part of Canada are you in? I usually have signings in the Toronto/Halifax area.

Can't wait to get my hands on this! I adore your character designs. Has First Second given you a release date yet, or is it still "Nebulous Maybe 2011"?

damnskippy In reply to priscellie [2010-10-25 12:59:21 +0000 UTC]

Probably later. Last I heard it was early 2012. However! It may go online before that. Supposed to have a meeting with First Second this week to discuss. We'll see.

That's awesome to hear! Unfortunately it looks like it won't be out until early 2012, so it's a year away. Sigh. Book publishers take so long to publish things...

I really really like your drawing style.
Wish I could find your comics around here...

Guess your right...
But it's fun to find something your really want, in a store, it's like you just found a treasure. The days I'll find your books, I'll be the happiest human on earth.
And beside that, I don't trust postal service with what I have pay... ¬¬ I want to see before I buy, it's just to be sure it's in perfect condition.

Quite excited for this one, as I'm a sucker for sibling interaction. Brothers are such marvelous fun/ pains in the neck.
