Here’s an image from a little comic I’m putting together inspired by our Berlin / Gothenburg trip last month.

Also here’s a snap from the Gothenburg book fair where I was signing at the Science Fiction Bokhandeln table. ‘Twas fun.

Sketches from Gothenburg and Berlin

Just got back from a couple weeks in Europe. I was in Sweden for the Swedish launch of Ojingogo at the Gothenburg Book Fair. The Swedish edition is published by Ordbilder Media and can be purchased online at the popular Science Fiction Bokhandeln which has stores in Stockholm, Malmo and Gothenburg.

I’ll post photos from the book fair shortly. Here are some sketches I did while on the trip. Many more after the jump…

Here are some birds I drew last week-end.

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…
