Tweeting with the Taxman about Poetry


I was on CBC today, talking about the government and Twitter. Heritage minister, James Moore, uses the service rather intuitively as a conversation channel with his constituents. Sometimes that pisses people off.

You can listen to the full audio here. I start on at about 1:35….

Dancing Mile End Bookbags for Drawn & Quarterly

I designed these bookbags for the D&Q bookstore a few months ago. I wanted to have some fun with the Mile End neighbourhood – which is the awesome Montreal neighbourhood where I live and where the D&Q bookstore is located.

Book News:

  • Ojingogo was nominated for a 2009 Doug Wright Award. I’m really flattered and happy about that. The awards are at the Art Gallery of Ontario during the Toronto Comics Festival weekend. I’ll be at TCAF all weekend with books, prints, and (hopefully) new minicomics. Really looking forward to it.
  • Ojingogo was also nominated for a 2009 National Cartoonist’s Society Award. The award will be presented next month (May 23) in Hollywood. I’m gonna go check this out. When else would I be welcome in Hollywood? Srsly?
  • Also Ojingogo will be released in Sweden this fall at the Gothenburg Book Fair, by the Swedish publisher Ordbilder. They are a great little publisher and I’m going try to make it over for the launch. But I’ve heard it can be expensive….

    • What else? I just finished teaching my journalism class this year – so I haven’t had time to draw much of anything in the last couple months. I’m wrapping up marking – and it looks like the class is done for good – so I’m excited to hit the drafting table again this week…
