Sunday Sunday Sunday I found a few more things. I got a lot of business cards which time tonight will force into a third entry on MoCCA. Today's finds:
- Jobnik! an american girl's adventures in the israeli army, and Jewish Memoir goes Pow! Zap! Oy! a drawn essay on autobiographical graphic novels, and why they are so jewy, by Miriam Libicki
- Fort90 - Summer Carnival '09 zine by Matt Hawkins
- Higher Ground, by Shelli Paroline
- 1-up a video game story (mini-comic) by Mark Thisse
- Lesbians Vol. 1 and vol. 2, mini-comics by Jane Mai
- Mood:
restless
It's late, so ... just links! These are the wonderful things that Ali and I found at MoCCA today. There will probably be more tomorrow, though my wallet hopes not.
- Novasett Island by Zack Giallongo and Stephanie Yue and Grune, by Zack Giallongo
- The Harvest Comic Trilogy, which Ali says that she is going to make me pass on to someone else but I don't think that she can make me do that. Perhaps I will hide them so that I can read them over and over.
- The Elsewhere Chronicles, Book One: The Shadow Door and Book Two: The Shadow Spies, by Bannister and Nykko
- Preview copy of The Big Kahn, by Neil Kleid and Nicolas Cinquegrani
- Ofuro, by Hilary Florido, a beautiful mini-comic about a trip to Japan and the Japanese Baths. I can identify.
- Shenzhen: A Travelogue from China and Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea, by Guy Delisle. I've been wanting to read these for a while, so I'm glad that
ali_wildgoose picked 'em up. - Never Learn Anything From History, by Kate Beaton
- Bite Me! A Vampire Farce, by Dylan Meconis
- Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: The Manga Edition, by Adam Sexton and Hyeondo Park (interview)
- "Suffering & Death" featuring Talking Guinea Pigs! , by Jeff Mumm
- Mood:
tired
I've been so busy lately that I have several times not actually been sure what was the inside of my head and what was the outside. I can explain that if need be, it's not pretty but it's true.
HOWEVER, many important and/or fun things are coming up now, so I must speak and encourage:
HOWEVER, many important and/or fun things are coming up now, so I must speak and encourage:
- The MoCCA Art Festival is a fine comics festival occurring in New York City this weekend. It is always awesome without reservation. This year I'm particularly excited for new work by my friends. Check it out:
alisa5179 and
3distic with some new work. I want to commission them for RPG characters. :D
soggytoast and
quezzie with some fantastic-looking new work (Novasett! Grune!) and a threequel to a hit from previous MoCCAs
- Next weekend, again in New York, is the Come Out and Play Festival. All weekend, brilliant game designers are turning the city itself into a series of games - "circle rules football" in Central Park; Space Invaders marching down the side of a building toward running people as players; mafia/werewolf played on a subway car with the stations as rounds and an 'afterlife' meta-game for them that gets offed. It's amazing, gets you to look at the city in a different way, and is just damn fun.
