Intervention Con

On Friday, September 10th, me and team Sketchy’s are road-tripping down to Maryland to do Dr. Sketchy’s and present a panel at Intervention Con, the convention focused on The Intrawebs!

Then, on Saturday, September 11th, I’m presenting a panel Think Locally, Promote Globally, about my experiences with Dr. Sketchy’s

My Baggage

+ Tin, once containing mints.  Now business cards, designed by Nubby Twiglet.  The rounded corners fit perfectly

+ Moleskine, painted to distinguish it from its sisters

+ D & G sunglasses, found randomly, whose shape mimics a contemptous brow forrow

+ Anna Sui compact

+ Sequined wallet, from Pearl River Mart, filled with foreign currency.

+ Sequined scarf.

+ Giant book.  In this case Hitch 22, which is tragic and beautiful and hilarious and very good

+ Perfume that smells like baked goods

+ Mark Ryden pin, doled out by the man himself at his opening

+ Passel of microns

+ iPhone, much dropped, with sticker of my drawing 3M made for a digital art show in Brazil

+ The bag is an Alexander McQueen, in the style of Jack the Ripper, and is quite large enough for all one’s super-villain needs

Act-i-vate gave me my start in comics.  The tight knit web-comics collective, founded by Dean Haspiel  (who just won an Emmy, btw!  Go Dean!) and Dan Goldman let me and Leavitt do our first long comics story, Backstage.  Looking at it now, all I can see are the louse-ups of my early attempt, by Backstage was the seed that gave birth to Scarlett Takes Manhattan, and later, Puppet Makers.

Dean was kind enough to ask me to contribute to the Act-i-vate Primer, a handsome, hardbound, glossy covered anthology that was recently nominated for a Harvey Award.  I have a mere two signed copies available in the store.  Fortunately, my style improved by the time I got to contribute.

Buy a signed Act-i-vate Primer!

Tomorrow night, I’m leaving Sao Paulo for New York’s illustration salt mines. But what a fabulous half-week its been. I’ve toured hip design stores and seen my work bling out iphones and lectured at the oldest university in Brazil. Met so many amazing new friends- including artist Catarina Gushiken, whose hyper-detailed work and entrepreneurialism make her feel a bit like my Sao Paulo soul sister. I also got to show my work with New York expat Dan Goldman in Brazil’s first exhibit of Digital Art

Thank you so much to the rockstars at Elo 3 for treating me like way more than the guttersnipe I am, to 3M for sponsoring the exhibition at MacKenzie and to Zupi Magazine for being my biggest Brazilian advocates.

Can’t wait to come back!
