Two Shows Opening This Weekend!

I am pleased to have work in two group art shows that open this weekend.

San Francisco: Batman On Robin is a show featuring the contributions of a wide variety of artists to the time-honored tradition of finding homoerotic subtext in the relationships between Batman and the various Robins he's fond of collecting. The art will vary from pin-up pieces to full-on short stories, to tattoo art and photography! Friday 2/9, 7-10pm @Mission Comics And Art,520 20th St, San Francisco, CA

New York: One Thing Leads To Another is the 7th annual Panel To Panel exhibit of comics and cartoon art. Saturday 2/9, 4-7pm @Medialia, 335 West 38th Street, New York, NY

Girl Scout Workshop

Today I led a workshop to help Girl Scouts earn their Comics Artist badge at the Charles M. Schulz Museum. It was a ton of fun, and some very creative comics were made!
