Grinder - January 9th

2010 will kick off with a bang. On Saturday, January 9th, I will have a table at Grinder, the creative art expo in Lafayette. I will be selling comics and more comics. I have brand new editions of "Guns McMenamin: Just Another Thursday" printed (and bound correctly!!) that will be for sale as well as plenty of copies of "Like That."

If you have never been to Grinder in Lafayette, then what the heck is wrong with you? There's vendors selling everything from original art to comics to jewelry and did I mention COMICS? There will be live art by Kody Chamberlain (who draws a bad ass comic about Trace Adkins) and Rob Guillory (artist of Chew, one of the hottest books out right now). No excuses people! It's only 45 minutes from Baton Rouge, it is during the day (for you maw maw's that don't drive after dark), and it is a non-smoking facility. Also, it is being held in conjunction with the city's ArtWalk that happens every second saturday of the month. Art will be all up in your grill! Just check out the poster!

Louisiana Book Festival - New Release!

Next Saturday, October 17th, the Louisiana Book Festival will be going down outside the State Capital. It's been a couple of years since I've been an exhibitor, but we are back with a new book, "Guns McMenamin: A Day in the Life" (cover pictured below). It will be your first chance to purchase the new comic. We will be sharing a table with Sentient Studios, who will be selling their collection of poetry. To find us, we'll be at an outdoor table on the walkway from Fourth Street to the Capital building (the hedges).

If you are unfamiliar with the Louisiana Book Festival, it won't be just hacks like me, there will be real exhibitors and authors too. Check out The Advocate's extensive preview: http://www.2theadvocate.com/entertainment/magazine/63323327.html.
