2013 in Review Part I: Bright Shiny Objects (OR, “I Was a Teenage Stretch-Goal”) 2013 will go down – for me, at any rate – as the year my distraction by Bright, Shiny Objects reached Critical Mass. If the year were a short story, it’d be titled “I Was a Teenage Stretch-Goal.” If I were […]
“THE SECRET ATLAS OF NORTH COAST FOOD” MADISON SIGNING Posted by John A while ago, I was asked to contribute a chapter to an exciting new book called “The Secret Atlas of North Coast Food,” published by the Heavy Table, and masterminded by James Norton. I’m a huge fan of Heavy Table – possibly my […]
Posted by John Oh! Hey! Hi there! Long time no etc. etc… FIRST BIT OF BIG NEWS! This coming Saturday, the 16th of November, I’m going to be popping into GO PLAY, a mini-convention here in Brisbane, Australia. I’ll only be able to be here for a short amount of time, over lunch. From noon […]

Guys! GUYS! (As “the kids,” you know, say). “ROFL!”, the party game I designed and illustrated, should be in stores today! Copies of the game got to the British Isles a few weeks ago, so it’s been on sale there for a bit. First reports are great, which thrills me no end. The game […]
Sunday’s morning warm-up sketch: Minitaur. Possibly should be “Miniotaur.” Ah, well… Of possible minor interest: how closely I DO NOT follow my pencils, at times.
Right. I’m back from ConQuest, which is an incredibly cool convention in Kansas City and also BARBECUE BARBECUE BARBECUE BARBECUE BARBECUE BARBECUE. I hit Arthur Bryant’s, as everyone said I should, along with Gates Bar-B-Q, as almost everyone else said I should. In my downtime, I also had Chili from 1919. So I’m going vegetarian […]
