Oh my goodness, I was so excited to sit down and talk with Smitten Kitten about my work on Oh Joy, Sex Toy! I hope you enjoy our interview.

Oh man, remember when I won that challenge in Strip Search to design a skatedeck for Wizards of the Coast? It’s here! ..Well, almost. It will be here this summer at the Van’s Warped Tour and you can see my final artwork above! Read more about it over at Wizards of the Coast.

With absolutely no relation to the above, part two of my podcast interview with Dr. Dick is now online. We talk more about comics and sex!

And! Final note!
Next week, June 18th, I will be in Seattle for Penny Arcade’s livestreaming of the Strip Search season finale episode! Unfortunately, it’s all sold out, but hey! It’ll be livestreamed so you can still watch from home :)

Last night my husband had me sketch up a handful of Lil’ Erikas to use on some promotional graphics for Oh Joy, Sex Toy and I thought this one came out pretty cute.

Hey! Ever wanted to listen to me talk about sex and comics on a podcast? YOU’RE IN LUCK because I did just that on Dr. Dick’s Sex Advice show.

Oh holy moley! I’m beyond honored to have an interview up on Autostraddle with writer Alison Osworth!

Alison sat down with me over Skype for two hours while I rambled on at length about my work, sex education, and how I try to incorporate the two together.

Thank you so much, Autostraddle!

Thank you SO MUCH to our friends at LoadingReadyRun* for including Amy T. Falcone and me in this week’s Feed Dump video for The Escapist!

*Perhaps you recognize that name as that of the production company who are responsible for Strip Search? Because that is who they are. And they are delightful.

Also, this happened.

Amy and me, stabbing dragons.

Aw, thanks so much to the 4geeksmedia folks for asking me about my favorite comic while we were at VanCaf this past weekend!

(My answer: Girls With Slingshots by my bro Danielle Corsetto. That shit is good.)

Oh dang! The June 2013 issue of Macworld Magazine has an interview with me about my comics creation process that is a hybrid of both traditional and digital media!

Thank you to Shannon Watters for sending me a scan!

Aaaaaaaaaand don’t forget, this weekend is the Toronto Comics Arts Festival!

It’s free to the public inside the jaw-dropping Toronto Public Library (789 Yonge St). I’ll be selling my books and prints at table 247 on the second floor as well as speaking on a panel!

Good golly, I’m going to be live on KGW’s The Square tonight at 7pm PST!

I’m honored to join Stumptown Comics Fest director, Kaebel Hashitani, to talk about the tenth anniversary of my favorite convention– and my tenth anniversary of exhibiting with them.

UPDATE: Dang, that was fast! They’ve already made a clip of our interview!

Back in December I was delighted to contribute my list of the best graphic novels (perfect-bound book collections of comics) I read during 2012 to Paste Magazine.

Comic Relief: Paste’s Favorite Writers & Artists Pick their Favorite Comics of 2012

(Listed in no particular order!)

1. Legend of Bold Riley
Leia Weathington and Many Artists (Purchase)
Bold Riley is a princess who leaves behind her kingdom to have adventures and woo the ladies before she settles down to rule. Leia Weathington is the creator and writer of all the short stories in this collection though she only illustrates one chapter, recruiting an incredibly talented roster of artists to bring the rest of her stories to life. The variety of artwork is a feast for the eyes and the tales of Bold Riley are exciting and timeless.

2. Drama
Raina Telgemeier (Purchase)
Drama is a book that will speak to all the middle school students who are navigating their passion for theater with their erupting and extinguishing crushes and coping with bullies. Raina Telgemeier’s cartooning is powerful while looking effortless and she has written a story that is going to be a light in the dark room that is adolescence for many, many young people.

3. Tune: Vanishing Point
Derek Kirk Kim (Purchase)
Oh my gosh, this story is hilarious and exciting! This science-fiction story plucks loser Andy out of his dead-end life and throws him into an intergalactic zoo where he is a specimen on display for aliens (except now Andy is the alien). Derek Kirk Kim is as wonderful a writer as his drawings are gorgeous and engaging. This is the first book in a series and I absolutely cannot wait for volume two.

4. Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, & Me
Ellen Forney (Purchase)
Everything Ellen Forney touches is gold. Her striking, energetic artwork propels the reader into her tumultuous brain as she discovers that she is bipolar and the trials she will go through as she learns to cope with and treat it. This is a great read for anyone with a connection to (or just an interest in) creativity and mental chemical unbalance, whether the reader can relate to her work personally or if someone just wants to understand their creative/crazy loved one better.

5. Ellerbisms
Marc Ellerby (Purchase)
Marc Ellerby has created a beautiful, complete story that spans over several years, documenting falling in love, forming a relationship, and then breaking up with his girlfriend, Anna — Don’t be put off by my description, the primary thrust of the comic is the humor and reading about how funny these two people are together. Many autobio comics can feel disjointed and jagged in their day-to-day reportings, but Ellerbisms has a lovely flow and narrative arc that will make you laugh and tear up.

6. Between Gears
Natalie Nourigat (Purchase)
In her senior year of college, Natalie Nourigat decided to draw one journal comic page a day to chronicle her final days in school before plunging into the cold waters of Being An Adult. Her illustrations are lovely and she captures the magic in the nuance of every day living. You can’t help but root for her as she learns and grows as a person over the course of the book.

Back in November last year, Bill Mudron, Katie Lane, Dylan Meconis and I met up for our fourth annual Freelancer Roundtable Podcast!

Each year, the day after Thanksgiving, we gather together to talk shop about freelancing, being self-employed, the lessons we’ve learned that year and answer people’s questions.

Aaaaand we’ve got unedited video clips of our roundtable as well! For some reason the first one won’t play for me (maybe it will for you?) but the rest still seem to be operational: Freelancer Rountable Videos
