Early Lasky

When I started work on the "Carter Family" graphic novel, I had already been drawing comics as a semi-pro for nearly 20 years.  Some of my work has been made available again via the Wow Cool website:

Thanks, Wow Cool!

Original Art now available

Many readers have asked me if the original art from "Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song" is available for purchase.  Frank and I are dividing evenly between ourselves.  I will be periodically posting the art I have for sale on my Etsy shop.  Feel free to take a look!

"Carter Family" short-listed for Slate Studio Prize

Frank and I have been speechless from the news that our book, "The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song", has been short-listed for the Slate Studio Prize alongside graphic novels such as "Building Stories" and "Goliath".  What a great honor! 

UPDATE: Congratulations to Chris Ware on a well-deserved win!

Cash to be on a Stamp

The original Carter Family was honored with a stamp twenty years ago, back in 1993...

On Seattle's Capitol Hill...

"The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song" graphic novel can be found at The Elliott Bay Book Company, one of America's great bookstores which has been called something like "a cathedral of books". It's such an honor to see my book in their graphic novel section (and in the highlighted books section near the entrance!).

Also available at Elliott Bay: "Marbles" by Ellen Forney, and "Calling Dr. Laura" by Nicole Georges.  Here they are socializing with the ladies of Short Run after Nicole's reading...

In Pittsburgh

If you're in Pittsburgh, you can find "Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song" at The Copacetic Comics Company...
