This Thursday, June 30th at 6pm there is a release party / signing for Julia Rothman’s Drawn In book. I think everyone is bringing their sketchbooks for people to leaf through (the photos here are from one of the books I’m bringing up) so that will be exciting.
Some of the artists who will be at the event are Ana Benaroya, Jen Corace, Christian DeFilippo, Rob Dunlavey, Ben Finer, Jessica Hische, Matt Leines, Alex Lukas, Ted McGrath, Leif Parsons, Claudia Pearson, Mike Sudal, Jenny Volvovski and Ben K. Voss.

My buddy Caleb wrote a nice piece about my work in the latest issue of Juxtapoz Magazine (#122 – March, 2011). It’s on newsstands now. Some more after the break. Thanks to Clint Woodside of Never Nothing for taking the photo.
