Balloon Poster


I made a poster of "Balloon" from the big Kramers. It's 18x24 and the colors are very rich and vivid. I'll have some at SPX next weekend, and after that I'll put them up on the web for sale, probably at $30 (plus $4.50 shipping). In the meantime because supplies are limited email me if you would like to reserve one -- orelse at usscatastrophe.

New Comics: May / Mardou

My good friends Ted May and Sacha Mardou have awesome new comics out--



We got 'em at the Catastrophe Shop, but you should really get them straight from the May/Mardou household -- go here and here to do so. Elsewise, we will all be sharing a table at CAKE (the Chicago Alternative Kcomics Expo), and we'll see you there on June 16 and 17.
